When people ask me where I\u2019m from, I always reply: Venetian by birth, Bolognese by adoption, and Turinese by choice<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I was born and raised in Vicenza and, after graduating from a language-focused high school, I moved to Bologna<\/em> to study Foreign Languages and Literatures<\/strong> (and to drink beers sitting on the cobblestones of Piazza San Francesco, I must admit). I\u2019ve always had a strong talent for writing, balanced, however, by a rather limited amount of imagination. That\u2019s why, when I discovered literary translation, I had no more doubts about my path: I would write other people\u2019s books<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So, somewhat reluctantly, I left behind my beloved red porticoes and moved to Turin<\/strong>, where I adopted Elio, my very sweet and nosy cat, and earned a master\u2019s degree in Translation<\/strong> with top marks.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, eager to get my hands dirty as soon as possible, I spent my free time attending several more practice-oriented translation courses<\/strong>, working mainly with English and Spanish. Among them, the one that left the deepest mark on me was the course taught by the extraordinary translator Ilide Carmignani, to whom I owe an important part of my training.<\/p>\n

During the same period, never quite satisfied, I also attended numerous professional courses for editors<\/strong>, including those offered by Scuola Belleville<\/strong>, the cultural association Gri\u00f3<\/strong>, and the literary agency Herzog<\/strong>. Alongside my love for translation, a visceral passion for the world of editing<\/strong> and proofreading<\/strong> began to grow. Guided by this passion, I began to put myself out there and, not without some effort, first completed internships and later began working professionally in the field.<\/p>\n

Over the years I have had the opportunity to collaborate with publishing houses <\/strong>and agencies<\/strong> such as Edizioni Primavera<\/strong>, Canicola Edizioni<\/strong>, ADD editore<\/strong>, Milano Edit<\/strong>, and Blackie Edizioni<\/strong>, working on many books as a proofreader, editor, or translator.<\/p>\n

At the same time, I have always nurtured a special connection with poetry<\/strong>. I read a great deal of it, write some myself, and I\u2019m part of the Italian poetry slam scene (performative poetry). It\u2019s a space very different from editorial work, but also complementary: it constantly reminds me that language is alive and in continuous transformation. I\u2019m still trying to figure out where I stand in the ever-green debate on the translation of poetry.<\/p>\n
