Gilda Dina – Translator

I am a native Italian literary translator from English with experience mostly in Humanities and Social Sciences non-fiction.

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.
