LITERARY TRANSLATION
When words have a voice
Translating fiction is not translating words: it is carrying across a tone, a rhythm, a voice. I translate novels, short stories, non-fiction and comics from English and French into Italian.
What I translate
- Novels and short stories, adult and young adult fiction
- Comics, graphic novels and illustrated picture books
- Popular non-fiction
- Editorials and magazine articles
Selected published translations
- Analogico/Virtuale and Solarpunk, design ed estetica postindustriale — Future Fiction
- My Little Pony, the film novelisation — Pon Pon
- Rivoluzioni, aver cura dell’ambiente e del cuore umano — Esperia Edizioni
- Lo Spaventapasseri, collective translation from English — Gallucci
- Un peu de magie dans l’air, collective translation from French — Gallucci
- Chapters of Scenari e sfide dell’adozione internazionale — Franco Angeli
- Selected Weird Tales for the Studi Lovecraftiani blog
- Essays and editorials for the magazine Il Nuovo Rinascimento
I also handled the editorial editing of the Jurassic World trilogy for Fabbri Editori.
Children’s literature and picture books
A specialisation I built in the classroom as well, through the FUSP course on translating children’s literature: picture books, classics and young adult fiction. Picture books come with their own constraints: few words, a rhythm built for reading aloud, a close relationship with the image.
For publishers
I am available for translation tests, house style guides and series deadlines.
