My name is Alessandra, an Italy based language enthusiast with a master’s degree in translation and interpreting (eng) and one in foreign literatures (eng/esp). I currently work as an English teacher but I've always been fascinated by the nuances that the choice, or change, of a word can bring, and so communication in every form, being it visual, written, artistic… has always been my main passion.

While I have worked extensively as a sworn translator, "my thing" is creative, and in particular, literary translation. It's not just a matter of mastering the source and target languages and the different nuances of meaning. It takes inspiration and a "gift" for conveying "the music of words" in the target language. As an award-winning literary translator, I have worked on various projects, including fiction, children's books, poems and songs.
