I occasionally translate Italian into English and American English as well.

I also worked for the past four editions of my hometown main events such as the "Premio Barzini", an award to the best foreign correspondent of the year, and "Orvieto con Gusto", a nine day food and wine festival in cooperation with Slow Food attracting thousands of visitors from Italy and abroad. I was in charge of: liaison with printers, secretarial work, staff recruitment and management, hotel reservations, clients bookings and ticketing ,final accounting. December 1996 - December 1999 - Sales Agent for Studio Uno, the advertising Agency for the local daily newspaper "Corriere di Viterbo" I developed a portfolio of approximately $ 150,000 in yearly sales, an amazing figure for a new agent in a studio that had already been operating for ten years with several agents in a small province near Rome. Apart from sales of advertising spaces, my tasks included writing of editorial for my clients, task which I greatly enjoyed and was greatly appreciated. From 1985 to 1989 I lived in London, UK and worked as : Reservation supervisor for Italian Esacapades,(1988-1989) a tour operator specializing in made-to-measure package tours to Italy . I was selling package tours over the telephone and coordinating sales office personnel. I was responding directly to the Reservation Manager.

Other current activities involve my great passion for basketball, which I played in my school years. I have been a basketball official for fifteen years now and took part in International Competitions and Major League Matches. I now work on local matches and am a qualified instructor for young officials.
