Career / Experience

I'm an Italian freelance professional translator and interpreter since 1988, with a Master's degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures (EN/ES/FR) and a Chartered professional qualification in Travel agency's Technical Management.
I worked at F.A.O. (UN Organization - www.fao.org), in Rome for some years as in-house employee and as consultant from then on. I am on the register of the travel agency's technical managers of Abruzzi district.
At present I'm in charge as technical manager at "Giallonardo S.r.l." Travel Agency, Bussi sul Tirino (PE), Italy.
I work on a regular basis in translation/localization of websites.

Besides Tourism, my main areas of expertise are:
- Law & Banking:
I've been collaborating with several lawyers for many years (field: General, Contracts, Patents, Copyrights, Taxes).
I'm a sworn translator at Pescara Court, Italy.
From 2001 to 2007 I've been the official interpreter and translator in the judicial proceedings of C.O.N.I. versus the football player Josep Guardiola, now Barcelona football Team's coach – in this case I collaborated with Mr.Guardiola’s lawyer, Tommaso Marchese, as interpreter and translator for any deed, memorial, and official and unofficial correspondence during the course of the proceedings, both in Spanish and in English language (i.e. in dealings with F.I.F.A. and its referring lawyer).
- Business and Finance:
In 1990 I attended a course on International Finance held at the Accademia Italiana, headquarter in Rome for the Arcadia University (Glenside, Pa, USA), based on the course taught at the Kogod School of Business, American University (ACCR IBUS 302).
- Medicine and Pharmaceutics:
