Other, major translation assignments include a 5 volume 18th century history of the Order of Jerusalem, a variety of articles from English to Italian and from Italian to English and a number of poets. Most recently I have translated excerpts from the works of John Cornwell (into Italian), Stefano Marcelli and Dacia Maraini (into English)).
