About me
My name is Barbara Salardi and I am a highly qualified Italian freelance translator from English to Italian and Spanish to Italian. The best way to describe me is using a tercet by the Italian poet Dante Alighieri: "Considerate la vostra semenza: fatti non foste a viver come bruti, ma per seguir virtute e canoscenza."
