I’m an Italian native speaker with an excellent knowledge of the language, improved through classical and linguistic studies and a personal interest for literature and journalism; although I never did it professionally, I enjoy writing (in both languages, English and Italian), I wrote several articles for magazines and local papers, many short stories and I'm currently working on a novel.

I am bilingual; I grew up in an English speaking environment and developed my knowledge of the language through family education, school, personal studies, professional and personal experiences. I spent two years in Scotland studying modern literature at the University of Glasgow.
I speak in a natural, slightly Glaswegian, British accent.
I’ve had many different experiences abroad and I have a good experience as an English and Italian private tutor.
I studied French for 8 years and I can speak, read and write fluently, I also studied German and I can speak and read a quite basic Spanish.
I’ve always been working on improving my language skills and I’ll always be, I love foreign languages and cultures, I love travelling, visiting new places, meeting new people and learning as much as I can about their history and habits. I've travelled almost every country in Europe, especially thanks to my amateur activity as a touring musician; I’ve also been to the U.S.A. and Canada. I'm currently working hard on improving my German and my translation skills.

I also have excellent Computer and IT skills.
Since I was a child computers have always been playing a fundamental role in my education, my father started selling IT products in the early 80s, so I’ve always been surrounded by these machines. I know computers well and I learn very quickly, I worked as a graphic designer and web master and my tasks for the companies VERBAM and VERTERE included IT assistance; I'm familiar with the main programming languages.

I am specialised in software and website localization and IT and high tech Translation, some of the main project I've worked on:
