> Relevant Translation Experience:
I have been a free-lance translator from English to Italian and Italian to English for several companies in Italy and abroad since 1990 .

Particularly I worked for “Progetto Sud”, an institution promoting third world development, where the topics of my translations were related to economics and politics. This followed a four year-long temporary residence in London, UK .

My specialization is therefore in English to Italian translations. Italian being my native language. I occasionally translate Italian into English and American English as well. I often work as consecutive interpreter and have some experience in voice-over and transcriptions

I learnt Spanish for business reasons and I am now fluent enough as to do Spanish to Italian translations and Spanish to English translations.

My professional experience will also explain why I can translate on so many different topics

February 2006 - XX Winter Olympic Games, Turin, Italy - Member of the Protocol Crew at The Olympic Palasport in Turin

January 2002 - January 2006 - Municipality of Orvieto - Conference and Events Bureau For the past four years I was deputy manager in the Local Conference Centre (200 working days a year with events from 20 to 1000 people) and promoted the local conference center to perspective clients cooperating with the organization of their events . I also worked for the past four editions of my hometown main events such as the "Premio Barzini", an award to the best foreign correspondent of the year, and "Orvieto con Gusto", a nine day food and wine festival in cooperation with Slow Food attracting thousands of visitors from Italy and abroad. I was in charge of: liaison with printers, secretarial work, staff recruitment and management, hotel reservations, clients bookings and ticketing ,final accounting.

December 1996 - December 1999 - Sales Agent for Studio Uno, the advertising Agency for the local daily newspaper "Corriere di Viterbo" I developed a portfolio of approximately $ 150,000 in yearly sales, an amazing figure for a new agent in a studio that had already been operating for ten years with several agents in a small province near Rome. Apart from sales of advertising spaces, my tasks included writing of editorial for my clients, task which I greatly enjoyed and was greatly appreciated.

From 1985 to 1989 I lived in London, UK and worked as :

Reservation supervisor for Italian Esacapades,(1988-1989) a tour operator specializing in made-to-measure package tours to Italy . I was selling package tours over the telephone and coordinating sales office personnel. I was responding directly to the Reservation Manager.

Bilingual Secretary for Alfred Dunhill ltd, (1988)a corporation with business on several fronts, from luxury leather accessories, to tobacco, to menswear etc. I was working for the merchandise manager in the leather division and, besides ordinary secretarial jobs I was in charge of liaison with suppliers for spare parts and repairs as most of the suppliers were Italian.

Reservation Clerk for Island Sun Ltd, (1985 -1988) a tour operator specialized in package tours to Islands of the Mediterranean sea. That was my first job, I started by selling package holidays over the phone to British clients . After one year I was also put in charge of booking reservations for the "Tour of Sicily" where I also looked after the hotel rooming lists and bookings and coordinated the groups in Sicily itself.


Other current activities involve my great passion for basketball, which I played in my school years. I have been a basketball official for fifteen years now and took part in International Competitions and Major League Matches. I now work on local matches and am a qualified instructor for young officials. I have managed to conjugate my passion for this sport with my experience as an event manager: I organize local basketball tournaments and work as a Tournament Manager with A.S. Sportevents, a company specializing in youth basketball tournaments in Italy and Spain , looking after paperwork, bookings, accounts .
