Career / Experience

Translating is an art.
An art that only real professionals can successfully perform, this is what I truly believe. It is a matter of extreme accurateness related to the kind of text to be translated. It is a matter of comprehension of the target audience and of the real goals of the source text. It is a matter of passion for human language and the pure magic of words that combine together in the perfect way.
15 years of experience in this field make me more and more enthusiastic every day.
