MARIELLA PETRIGNI TRANSLATIONS
When languages and communication meet.
Italian that works.
Translation means more than transferring words.
I translate from German and English to Italian and Swiss Italian for clients in Switzerland and Italy.
For more than two decades, I have been translating and adapting texts for companies and organisations. My work combines linguistic expertise with professional experience in PR, journalism and business.
A good translation should read naturally, suit its audience and preserve the purpose and tone of the original. That is what I aim for in every text.
About me
I was born and grew up in Ticino, Switzerland. In my family we spoke both Italian and German.
My professional background brings together language, communication and business. After studying foreign languages, I worked in import-export and banking in Lugano, where public relations were among my responsibilities. During this time, I obtained the Swiss Federal Certificate as a Public Relations Specialist.
My interest in language and communication later led me to journalism and translation. Alongside my work, I studied literature and art history.
Today I live and work in Milan. I am familiar with the cultural differences between Switzerland and Italy and how they influence communication. Linguistic nuances, cultural references and tone can make all the difference. I take these aspects into account when translating and adapting your texts.
Areas of expertise
My work includes, among other things:
Public Relations and media relations
Corporate and internal communication
Marketing communication
Websites and digital content
Corporate publications.
