ABOUT

Federica Bulciolu, translator and language teacher

I live and work in Viareggio, on the Tuscan coast. I translate from English and French into Italian across four fields — technical, legal, literary and audiovisual — and I teach English and French to individuals, students and companies.

Background

I graduated in Translation and Interpreting from the University of Genoa. I then spent ten years as an in-house translator at a leading Oil & Gas company: ten years of technical documentation, management systems, contracts and procedures, working inside the company processes rather than at their edges. Since 2020 I have worked freelance.

How I work

Attention to detail, deadlines respected, direct communication throughout the project. A contract, a manual or an episode to subtitle all get the same terminological care: the register changes, the standard does not.
