Translations from Italian and French to English 

"We can recommend Catherine for the exceptional quality of her work [...]; she is capable of going far beyond the literal meaning, making her a perfect choice for the translation of scripts and more creative texts".

From a stint at Milan’s Science Museum, to translating film scripts, or working on the international edition of Italy’s leading dance magazine Danza&Danza, my experience in art and culture translations is as rich and varied as cultural heritage itself. This type of translation usually requires extensive research – which I enjoy immensely – broad general knowledge, and sensitivity to the specific meaning and nuances in the source text.

​

My experience in this field includes:

• museum exhibition texts, webpages, captions and guides

• contemporary art catalogues

• a bimonthly magazine about ballet and contemporary dance

• biographies of artists and photographers 

• books about art history and archaeology

• academic papers on classical music, Ancient Greek theatre and literature, film studies

• cultural heritage websites
