Gilda Dina, Translator in Bologna, Metropolitan City of Bologna, Italy

Overview

I can provide culturally resonant translations given my deep and sensitive approach to the text. I love to challenge myself to always find the best words that fully express the author's voice and perspective.

My education in Intercultural Mediation prepared me to engage with works of translation of academic essays in Anthropology and Sociology, as well as in the field of Arts and Philosophy.
