Translation is, fundamentally, madness: an impossible quest (traduttore, traditore), an invitation to abuse and exploitation, an engulfing pursuit.

I hold a diplôme de traduction (Mention très bien) from the French Institute/Alliance Françase and am a certified translator of Italian (American Translators Association).

I am looking for a publisher for a long-form translation project: Catherine Clément’s historical novel La Señora, based on the life of Doña Gracia Nasi (Hannah Mendes), a Jewish heroine of the Renaissance.

My translation clients include HarperCollins, A&E Television, BNP Paribas, Gotham Chamber Opera, Manhattan School of Music, Produzioni Fuorivia, singer-songwriter Gianmaria Testa, and the Italian band Minstrel.

For Barron’s Educational Series, I have translated five non-fiction titles for young people:

Our Planet Earth (2003)
Life in a Medieval Castle (2003)
Rock (1999)
Opera (1999)
The High Renaissance (Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo) (1999)
