<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Ho
cominciato a scrivere da adolescente e non ho più smesso, anche se
nel tempo sono cambiate le forme e gli stili. Nell’ormai lontano
2011 pubblicai il mio primo componimento in un’antologia poetica
cartacea a tema “La Notte”. Da allora, nel corso degli anni e con
qualche iato, ho pubblicato diversi racconti, poesie e saggi in
italiano e in inglese in varie antologie e riviste, sia in formato
cartaceo che digitale.<br />
Per quanto riguarda la mia attività di
traduttore, tralasciando i primi acerbi tentativi, ho iniziato a
dedicarmi alla traduzione in maniera più consapevole e professionale
a partire dal 2012. Dopo la tesi triennale in Lingue e Culture, nel
2018 mi sono laureato in Scienze linguistiche e della traduzione alla
Sapienza di Roma…. </span></span>
