You need a professional and experienced translator or interpreter who understands your target groups and expertly conveys your message in Italian, German, and English? Wonderful! I’d love to help.
Of course, I’ll happily travel across the EU and UK to interpret for you. Recent assignments have led me to e.g. Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, and Switzerland.
Quality translation and interpreting services at native level
(German / English → Italian)
After passing my interpreting and translation diplomas with flying colours, I’ve been supporting public authorities and international companies since 2006 — from pharmaceutical firms to agricultural associations.
Today, I might translate your website from English to Italian — and, a few days later, I’ll interpret your conference presentation from Italian to German.
You can trust my interpreting skills in all settings, e.g. at trade fair negotiations, international institutions, non-profit organisations, trade union conferences, and even crisis support centres.

What my clients say about me
„In her translation work, Ms Turrini stood out due to her thorough subject research and her great mastery of linguistic and stylistic devices. She successfully grasped even highly complex facts and was able to translate these capably into the target language. Thanks to her high resilience, she was always able to deliver accurate and high-quality translations on time, even when deadlines were tight.“
Reference
Higher federal authority in the jurisdiction of the German Federal Ministry of Defence
„Ms Turrini interpreted simultaneously from German to Italian at a European-wide product launch […]. During this time, she not only impressed with her high concentration levels and performance, but also proved her careful subject research and terminology preparation. Throughout the whole event, Ms Turrini demonstrated impeccable professional behaviour and interpreted the live stream broadcast confidently and very fluently.“
