Services · Italian to English Translation
Your Italian Texts, Written for English Readers
I translate Italian into clear, natural English, and I review texts already written in English so they sound right to an international audience. Not word for word, but written the way a native speaker would write it.
Italian original
“La nostra azienda si pone come punto di riferimento nel settore, grazie a un’esperienza pluriennale e a un team altamente qualificato.”
Word for word
“Our company places itself as a point of reference in the sector, thanks to a multi-year experience and a highly qualified team.”
Natural English
“With years of experience and a highly skilled team, we’re one of the names people trust in our field.”
More Than a Translation
A text can be grammatically correct and still sound Italian. Long sentences, formal openings and word-for-word translations can read very differently to a potential British or American customer. I will preserve your meaning and your tone, and change what needs to change so the English works for an international audience.
Every translation is handled by me personally. I am a native English speaker based in Milan, working every day between Italian and English.

Why Work With Me
A Teacher, a Writer and a Translator
Native English, Based in Italy
I live in Milan and work mainly with Italian clients, so I know how Italian business writing sounds and how to adapt it for an international, English-speaking audience.
A Professional Writer
I create fresh website content for companies and communications agencies. Your translation will read as if it were written in English.
I Teach Business English
Years of experience teaching professionals in Italy mean I know the typical traps Italian writers face, from false friends to over-formal phrasing, and how to avoid them.
My Book
The Author of “Business English”
I wrote “Business English”, a fun and easy guide to using the language at work. The book is written in both English and Italian. It was published by Gribaudo, part of the Feltrinelli Group, in 2020, and distributed with Il Sole 24 Ore at newsstands across Italy.
“Business English” follows Angelo Castello, a young man who moves to London for new opportunities, guided by the Job Genie, through writing a CV and applying for jobs, doing interviews, attending meetings, writing emails, making presentations and surviving business travel in English.
Questions
How much does a translation cost?
It depends on the length, subject and deadline. Send me your text and, following a brief discussion, I will give you an exact quote.
How long does it take?
I will finish the translation as quickly as possible. Urgent work is possible by arrangement.
British or American English?
British English by default. If your readers are in the US or Canada, for example, I will write in American English throughout.
Have You Got A Text to Translate?
