About Me

Know-how, commitment, and integrity
for effective international communication

I’m Roberta Rocchi, and I’ve been working as a translator and interpreter since 2014.

I come alongside international companies and professionals who want to grow their brands and strengthen their partnerships in Italy without compromising on clarity and grace.

With my interpreting services, you can rest assured that guests at your conferences and events, training courses, and international meetings will get every word you say — with ease.

And with my translations, I ensure your written materials are clear and accurate.

What enables me to add value to your business?

The skills I’ve acquired during my studies in Italy and abroad

I earned a bachelor’s degree in Intercultural and Linguistic Mediation (2013) and a master’s degree in Conference Interpreting (2016) at the Forlì Campus of the University of Bologna, a renowned educational centre for interpreters and translators.

During and after my academic journey, I also studied abroad to enhance my understanding of the languages I work with — as well as the mindsets and cultures of the German, Russian, and Slovak-speaking communities.

  • Scholarship at Comenius University in Bratislava (2016/2017)
  • Master’s degree dissertation research at Comenius University in Bratislava (2016)
  • Summer school of Slovak language and culture at the Studia Academica Slovaca Centre for Slovak as a Foreign Language at the Comenius University in Bratislava (2014)
  • Study period at the Lomonosov Moscow State University (2012)
  • Erasmus programme at the University of Vienna (2011/2012)

Hands-on experience

Since launching my career in 2014, I have acquired significant experience interpreting at conferences, workshops, trade fairs, and business meetings in Italy and abroad (Austria, Israel, and beyond).
I regularly support over 20 clients with translation of web content, promotional materials, creative texts, medical reports, educational content, and other materials.

I’m also an Associate member of AITI (Italian Association of Translators and Interpreters), membership no. 219050, and member of Women in Localization.
