About me
Are you looking to reach an international audience without barriers?
You’re in the right place.

For years, I have been lending my voice to convey your message to and from Italian, English, and Spanish.
Based in Milan and Bergamo, I am also available to support you in other European cities and abroad.

Language Varieties
I work with international clients and partners every day, translating and interpreting in multicultural settings across every continent. My training and reference accents are British English and Castilian Spanish, but my experience spans all major varieties of both languages. In this way, I am able to adapt tone, vocabulary, and register to suit any audience or context.
I know and use the main varieties of English — British, American, Australian, and Irish — and I tailor expressions and cultural nuances to match my client’s background or the target market.
I also move naturally between the main varieties of Spanish, from European to Latin American (from Spain, to Mexico, and Argentina), ensuring communication that is always authentic and precise, no matter the country.
Every language project is handled with professional rigor and intercultural sensitivity ensuring that each message remains faithful, effective, and natural in every language.

Giulia did a wonderful job interpreting (Italian-English) at a Bookcity festival author event where I was the guest speaker on November 13, 2021. A great, seamless experience!

Position
Giulia ha fatto da interprete nel corso dell’incontro-intervista fra Guadalupe Nettel e me, per BookCity, il 9 novembre 2021. [...] La mediazione di Giulia tra spagnolo e italiano non solo ha reso possibile la conversazione, ma le ha dato ritmo e intensità, senza che ci fossero rallentamenti né che perdessimo passaggi e sfumature di discorsi molto delicati. Sono rimasta veramente impressionata dalla sua competenza, abilità e tatto.

Giulia es un verdadero ejemplo de profesionalidad y compromiso con la interpretación. Tuve el placer de trabajar en cabina de inglés a español y de español a inglés con Giulia y no solo su nivel en ambas lenguas es ejemplar sino que su técnica y cualidad como intérprete son dignas de admirar. Recomendaría a Giulia para cualquier encargo porque el valor añadido a cualquier evento está garantizado con Giulia como intérprete.

Giulia is an accomplished and diligent interpreter with multilingual prowess. I have interpreted with her since 2020 and during this time, she has shown an on-going dedication to her linguistic development. Her attention to detail, as demonstrated by her extensive knowledge of idioms, results in natural-sounding and skilfully fluid renditions. She shows commitment to pre-assignment research and continued professional development ensuring the positive evolution of her craft. Her almost immediate appointment with internationally revered figures such as Irvine Welsh and Jonathan Lee shortly after graduating proves her ability to hit the ground running in the industry. She is a force to be reckoned with.
How do you prepare for an event?
Preparation is the backbone of a successful assignment. We meticulously study all available resources; from slide decks and technical briefs to corporate websites and videos. We don’t claim to be experts in every field, which is why we conduct targeted, deep-dive research into your specific industry. This ensures we are fluent in your specialist terminology, whether it’s mechanics, engineering, logistics, technology, or any other niche sector.
Why do you need the list of participants and speakers?
To ensure everything runs smoothly. Knowing names in advance allows us to pronounce them with total confidence and accuracy, which is vital in international settings.
It’s a small detail that makes a significant impact; it demonstrates professional courtesy and ensures that every guest is treated with the respect they deserve.
Do you also study the speaker’s personal style?
Absolutely.
Whenever possible, we watch videos of the speakers to familiarise ourselves with their:
- Accent
- Pace and delivery
- Sentence structure
- Recurring personal or cultural references
This preparation ensures the interpretation feels natural and authentic, rather than stilted or forced, capturing the true essence of the speaker’s voice.
How many interpreters are needed for an event?
This depends on the duration and the type of service required.
For simultaneous interpreting:
- Up to 45 minutes (plus a 15-minute grace period): 1 interpreter.
Beyond 45 minutes: 2 interpreters are required. This allows us to manage the cognitive load and ensure consistent, high-quality delivery throughout the event.
What materials should I provide before the event?
Anything that provides context is incredibly valuable. This includes:
- Slide decks, PDFs, brochures, and white papers.
- Corporate websites and speaker videos.
- A detailed event agenda.
Even “work-in-progress” materials are useful; it is always better to have too much information than to have to improvise on the day.
Do you study both languages or just the target language?
I research the subject matter in both languages. This allows me to use the specific idioms and phrasing that a native speaker would naturally use in that context. This is what makes the interpretation sound fluid, credible, and effortless.
Does your professional service include an appropriate dress code?
Yes. An interpreter should blend in seamlessly; being present and attentive without becoming the centre of attention. We carefully choose our attire to match the tone of the event and reflect your brand’s professional positioning.
How can speakers help ensure the best possible results?
A few small considerations can make a world of difference to the final outcome:
- Providing materials in advance.
- Avoiding reading from a script (as written language and pace rarely translate well to live interpretation).
- Using a microphone at all times and keeping it steady.
- Limiting niche cultural or local references.
- Speaking in your native language whenever possible.
- Maintaining your natural flow. There is no need to slow down or alter your style.
Interpretation is at its most effective when the speaker is at their most authentic.
