Interpreter (§) - Translator (§)
<< . . . as a translator and interpreter I create links between different languages. The choice of focusing on the written and spoken word was a deliberate one. Translation allows me to express the subtlest of nuances from the original text with the utmost precision. Interpreting to me is like training in sports: both require extraordinary stamina to deliver an outstanding performance.>>
Italian is a language close to my heart. The language of music and a memento from my travels to the Bel Paese. Florence, cradle of the Italian culture, was a natural choice for me to pursue my passion. I also have a special connection to my second working language, English, which I learnt to love thanks to frequent family visits in English-speaking countries.
Fast-forward to today: as a translator and interpreter I create links between different languages. The choice of focusing on the written and spoken word was a deliberate one. Translation allows me to express the subtlest of nuances from the original text with the utmost precision. Interpreting to me is like training in my favourite sport: both require extraordinary stamina to deliver an outstanding performance.
