Source text - Italian Tendenze macroeconomiche
Nel 2014, il Pil mondiale si è attestato al 3,4 per cento, in linea con l’anno precedente; il dato complessivo riflette la moderata accelerazione della crescita nelle economie avanzate (1,8 per cento dall’1,4 nel 2013) e il lieve rallentamento nei paesi emergenti (4,6 per cento dal 5,0 nel 2013). Nell’Uem si è avuto un modesto recupero di attività (+0,9 per cento) dopo un biennio di contrazione (-0,8 e -0,4 rispettivamente nel 2012 e 2013). La ripresa nell’orizzonte temporale del 2014 non si è estesa all’Italia, dove l’attività economica ha continuato a contrarsi (-0,4 per cento) seppure in misura decisamente più contenuta rispetto ai due anni precedenti (-2,8 per cento nel 2012 e -1,7 nel 2013) e con un profilo in progressivo miglioramento: secondo la stima preliminare diffusa il 13 maggio, nel primo trimestre 2015 il Pil ha finalmente segnato una variazione congiunturale positiva, pari allo 0,3 per cento. Per effetto della prolungata recessione, nel 2014 il livello del Pil è sceso al di sotto di quello registrato nel 2000 e il valore pro capite al di sotto del livello del 1997.
Translation - English Macroeconomic trends
In 2014, the world’s GDP was around 3,4 percent, in line with the prior year; the overall figure reflects the moderate rise in the development of the advanced economies (4,6 percent in comparison with 5,0 in 2013). The Economics and Monetary Union experienced a modest business recovery (+0,9 percent) following a two-year period of decline (-0,8 and -0,4 respectively in 2012 and 2013). The recovery within the 2014 time frame did not extend to Italy, where the economic activity continued its decline (-0,4 percent) even if undoubtedly to a lesser extent in comparison with the prior two years (-2,8 percent in 2012 and -1,7 in 2013) and with a gradually improving profile: according to the preliminary estimate published on May 13, in the first trimester of 2015 the GDP finally marked a positive economic variation, equal to 0,3 percent. As a result of the prolonged recession, in 2014 the GDP level fell below the one registered in 2000 and the pro capita value fell below the 1997 level.

Appunti sulla vita ordinaria di un mammifero
Un Fratello e una Sorella si ritrovano, dopo anni di separazione, dietro la porta chiusa della stanza di un ospedale; dalla penombra arrivano il respiro e il canto della madre morente. Siamo in un luogo di frontiera, ognuno lo può riconoscere. Scompare il corpo che ti ha generato: la fine è un atto mitico, eppure è anche così quotidiano, un momento come tanti altri, che accade in un dato giorno, ad una certa ora.
La scena dell’inizio ha i caratteri dell’iperrealismo: una parete grigia simula un corridoio d’ospedale, che schiaccia i due attori verso il pubblico, sotto la luce di lampade al neon. Eppure c’è una simbiosi metafisica con quello che accade di là: l’intermittenza della coscienza e della percezione, i vaneggiamenti, vedere voci, parlare con i fantasmi dell’infanzia. In un gioco di dialoghi e conflitti, ricordi e visioni, i due fratelli si rincorrono, si osservano, si contendono il corpo della madre, per portarla ognuno a casa propria. Con un linguaggio surreale, a tratti divertito, che restituisce la verità di questa situazione così comune e paradossale.
Translation - English The sunset’s room
Notes on a mammal’s ordinary life
A Brother and a Sister meet, after years of separation, behind the closed door of a hospital room; from the semidarkness the breathing and chant of their dying mother reaches them. We are on a boundary line, everyone can recognize that. The body that created you disappears: the end is a mythical act, nevertheless it is also so ordinary, a moment like any other, which occurs on a given day, at a certain hour.
The scene of the beginning has hyper-realistic characteristics: a grey wall simulates a hospital hallway, which pushes the two actors toward the public, under the light of neon lights. Still, there is a metaphysical symbiosis with what is happening on the other side: the intermittency of conscience and perception, the babbling, seeing voices, talking with the ghosts from one’s childhood. In a game of dialogues and conflicts, memories and visions, the two siblings chase each other, look at one another, compete for their mother’s body, so that each may take her home with them. With a surreal language, at times humorous which renders the truth of this situation that is so common and paradoxical.

Source text - Italian L’andamento economico della Strategic Business Unit Servizi Assicurativi evidenzia nel primo semestre 2020 un risultato della gestione operativa (EBIT) che si attesta a 435 milioni di euro, in diminuzione del 4,3% rispetto all’analogo periodo dell’esercizio precedente (454 milioni di euro).
I ricavi da mercato i passano da 795 milioni di euro del primo semestre 2019 a 739 milioni di euro del 2020 (-7,2%) e sono essenzialmente riconducibili al business Vita che ha contribuito con 664 milioni di euro, mentre la contribuzione del ramo Danni ammonta a 70 milioni di euro, al netto dei ricavi di Poste Welfare Servizi e degli altri ricavi.
In particolare, nel semestre, i ricavi netti Vita diminuiscono rispetto al primo semestre 2019 del 7,5% (-54 milioni di euro), principalmente per effetto dei minori caricamenti (-59 milioni di euro) e del minore margine protezione Vita (-7 milioni di euro) a seguito della flessione della raccolta lorda avuta nel semestre (-2,4 miliardi di euro rispetto al primo semestre 2019), nonché dell’evoluzione delle altre riserve tecniche (-10 milioni di euro), il cui andamento risente principalmente della variazione della riserva spese, per il one-off positivo registrato a giugno 2019, correlato all’aggiornamento del tasso di attualizzazione IVASS. Tali variazioni negative sono state parzialmente compensate dal maggiore margine finanziario (+22 milioni rispetto al primo semestre 2019), che beneficia dell’incremento delle masse medie gestite.
Translation - English The economic trend of the Insurance Services Strategic Business Unit shows in the first six-month period of 2020 an operational management (EBIT) result of 435 million Euros, decreasing by 4.3% compared to the same period of the prior financial year (454 million Euros).
Market revenues went from 795 million Euros in the first six-month period of 2019 to 739 million Euros in 2020 (-7,2%) and are primarily ascribable to the Life insurance business that contributed 664 million Euros, whereas the contribution of the Indemnity line amounted to 70 million Euros, net of the Poste Welfare Servizi revenue and the other revenue.
Specifically, during the six-month period, the net Life revenues decreased compared to the first six-month period of 2019 by 7,5% (-54 million Euros), mainly as a result of the reduced commissions (-59 million Euros) and of the reduced Life protection margin (-7 million Euros) following the decrease in the gross subscription experienced in the six-month period (-2,4 billion Euros compared to the first six-month period of 2019), and also the development of the other technical reserves (-10 million Euros), whose performance is mainly affected by the variation of the expenditures reserve, for the positive one-off recorded in June 2019, in relation to the update of the IVASS discount rate. These negative variations were partially offset by the higher financial margin (+22 million compared to the first six-month period of 2019), which benefited from the increase of the median managed assets.

Bio
As of January 28, 2019:
My name is Tabitha Bartolini. I am a professional freelance translator operating in the industry since 2006. I possess a double-major B.A. cum laude in both French and German with Thesis on Translation from Drew Univesity, Madison, NJ, USA, Class of 2001. I also possess an International Marketing Certificate from C.L.I.D.A. (Centro Linguistico Italiano Dante Alighieri) in conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce of Florence and Region of Tuscany, in Florence, Italy, awarded in August 2006, and have spent my formative years in Italy, up to my Senior year in High School, receiving a Diploma in the study of Foreign Languages, namely French, German and English from a Liceo Linguistico. I studied Latin in Italy in Middle School. I lived and studied French in Paris, France for a study-abroad.
I have been translating for the past 12 years a multitude of texts in the general business area, all kinds of legal documents including for corporate law or litigation, legal-financial texts, general medical texts, and literary translations (short stories, synopses for films, textbooks). I have translated thousands of documents in these areas, and for multiple industries and clients, both locally, across the U.S. and abroad.
My translation clients have included major law firms/lawyers and their clients in the New York City area, local, national and international companies/organizations, including non-profits, individuals. For legal translations, I can provide high-quality, accurate certification and notarization of documents.
I also possess experience as a legal assistant/secretary, paralegal, and in document review, both on a full-time and part-time or contractual basis, and editorial experiences in copy-editing and proofreading of educational materials full-time and for agency clients, general editing of content and some content writing for private clients (blogs, Websites). My literary translations as well as business-related translations are accurate and professional but also sound natural, and provide an easy and "fluid" read, and pleasant experience for the end-reader.
I am a Notary Public in the State of NJ, and my commission expires in October of 2019.
I occasionally accept interpreting assignments when possible in Italian and English, and possess legal interpreting experience for depositions and arbitration for accident or personal injury cases and more, business negotiations and transactions and possess past medical interpreting experience in major hospitals throughout New York City in all five boroughs; I passed written and oral interpreting tests in order to do so, and received training; I have interpreted in law firms/professional law offices, in New York and in the State of New Jersey, where I currently reside; I can provide telephone interpretation.
I am also a Voice-over artist and have worked with voice-over studios in Manhattan on audio-books, and advertisements/commercials for their high-profile clients, and was in some cases trained directly by the studio's owner. I can record and provide high quality samples of my work in multiple formats upon request.
Regarding my multiple translation skills: If you are wondering why or how I can possibly translate from more than one source language and into more than one target language, the explanation is fairly simple or obvious. I grew up bilingual in Italian and English and lived, studied and worked in the US and EU over a period of at least 11 years, alternating my residence over a span of several years. I spent at least 10 consecutive years in Italy/Europe, studying and living there (and returned there in 2006 to live and work there for an internship). In 1997, I completed my studies and was issued a High School diploma from a Modern Language School in Pistoia, Italy where I studied English, French and German; I had previously attended a Business School for two years where I studied French and English. I then attended and was issued a University diploma in French and German (double-major) from an accredited US university where I graduated from with honors and received a 3.9 GPA in both majors in 2001. I completed a translation thesis, and studied intensely during those four years. I then applied my language knowledge to language teaching (Italian, French and English) for a brief time with a recognized language school (4 months), and other important office positions requiring language skills (French, Italian, English). Afterwards, I started freelancing in translation and interpreting for the first time in February of 2006. I consider this to be the start of my freelancing business and career in translation and interpreting although I had previously already translated some documents for the German department at Drew University (independent of my thesis). Additionally, I already possess experience translating French and German documents into English, English into French and French into Italian documents; I have also once again recently passed tests to be able to work in French into English legal and medical translation from top international agencies.
August 23, 2019:
I plan on adding a profile video soon and keeping this profile up-to-date. I will be speaking in Italian and English so that providers can judge my language skills. Of course, that is not all that is needed to succeed in translation. To be a translator, one really needs to master the skill and art of conveying the correct message, and essentially re-writing the text in a readable format while also respecting the original author's intent. Since translation and languages constitute a real interest of mine which I have been diligently cultivating over the years, it will be my pleasure to keep posting updates, or improving my profile.
Stay tuned for more information and updates; as of 2020, I apologize, I have not yet been able to upload a video. I still plan on doing so.

Salve,
mi chiamo Tabitha Bartolini e sono una traduttrice professionista freelance dal 2006, mentre da molti anni se non da sempre continuo a sviluppare e perfezionare non solo le mie conoscenze linguistiche, ma anche le mie capacita' di espressione. Per me l'utilizzo di altre lingue e' una vera e propria passione che ho continuato a praticare anche sin dalla nascita. Tuttavia, ci tengo a precisare che ho impiegato anni di tempo per poter sviluppare le mie capacita' traduttive e anche saltuariamente di interpretariato, nonche' di scrittura. Difatti, come ho spiegato sopra in lingua inglese, la traduzione vuole dire anche sapersi esprimere fluidamente nel parlare ma anche nello scrivere, allo stesso tempo attenendosi all'intento originale dell'autore.
E' per questo motivo che sono orgogliosa dei risultati raggiunti finora e di essere riuscita a perseguire e persistere in questo settore. La mia abilita' di applicare le mie conoscenze linguistiche con successo e' comprovata dal vasto numero di clienti diretti e non che ho avuto il piacere di assistere e da cui sono stata ripagata non solo monetariamente ma per l'apprezzamento dimostratomi in forma vocale e scritta per i servizi resi.
