I first met Marco on an experimental Google Chat service called Aardvark in 2012 where he answered my questions about translation. Surely I was in contact with a proactive, early adopting kind of person, but nothing could have prepared me to what this relationship later became. In all this years Marco has been a cool boss, a fantastic mentor, an excellent conversation partner and sounding board for my ideas and a great friend to turn to. All of this while never meeting in person until the first time in Barcelona in 2017! If you want some well grounded entrepreneurial advice, a translation professional you can rely on for big projects or a remote project manager that can deliver, do yourself a favor and get in contact with him..

Marco's advice was instrumental in successfully converting the Dizionario delle combinazioni lessicali (Italian Dictionary of Lexical Combinations) into a web app, especially in the specification design phase. In Marco I found a competent speaker, always willing to find the best balance between "editorial" needs and technical constraints.
Francesco Urzì Author of Dizionario delle Combinazioni Lessicali 25/06/2018
I cannot recommend Marco’s work highly enough! Having worked with hundred of different translators – freelancers and agencies – I would come back time and time again to Marco and his team. He always delivered top quality and, if there was ever a question or a concern, I knew I could go to him straight away, and he would ask the right questions to make sure he was able to address the issue. He is incredibly communicative (sometimes I think he never sleeps!) and was never late to respond or late on a deadline. Incredibly friendly and easy to work with!
Kala Maxym Customer Success Manager presso Smartling 24/06/2018
Very professional, punctual and competitive service.
Erminio Zanenga Sales Executive presso AERRE Inox S.r.l. 24/06/2018
Marco is a skillful professional for the Italian language and the translation industry: quality expert, hard worker, focused, helpful, empathetic, collaborative, decision maker, conscious planner, analityc mind, binded to commitment. Also he has an excellent grasp of the requirements of a team leader and he is always on top of things. Definitively consider him for Italian translation work as it comes in.
Jose Soto Project Manager presso MSS Translation 24/06/2018
I have worked with Marco and his agency for the English and Spanish translations of our eCommerce portal. They have always delivered on time and been very willing to handle frequent "last minute" comissions. Despite deadlines always being very tight, the translation quality is excellent, as verified by some of our native speakers. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a translatuin, you can rely on them.
Antonella Pivaro Responsabile eCommerce, AW LAB 24/06/2018
I got to know Marco during my time as Head of PM Assistants and Sales Support at Marsilli when I was struggling with the introduction of CAT-tools in a somewhat “conservative environment”. At the end of the two courses held by him, my resources had almost caught up with the state of the art in the business - or at least to the point that CAT-tools were considered a "must" for technical translation and not some “fancy innovation”. A claim that I lay to Marco’s detached unprejudiced presentation skills. To cut a long story short: Marco is a real Pro which I can only recommend.
Maria Grazia Mangione Customer Satisfaction Analyst presso Marsilli S.p.A. 24/06/2018
Qabiria made a great job with our LaTex files! They were able to translate an instruction manual for our machine directly managing the LaTex files without errors and allowing us to compile the manual in the new language in few minutes. No other company nowadays was able to give us the same quality service with the same quality/price ratio. Thank you Marco!

I participated in the webinar "From CV to online presentation" held by Marco and promoted by Sabrina Tursi's STL Formazione. Compared to many other CV seminars I have participated in during my university and non-university studies, this webinar distinguished itself through its concreteness and the professional approach aimed at translators. I especially appreciated Marco's clear and punctual way of speaking, and his instructions on highlighting which professional characteristics to bring out in a CV, and which errors to avoid. He has my personal thanks for giving me very important advice on improving my CV and my personal website. I hope to meet him in another professional training or, who knows, even a work context!

His knowledge, experience and polyvalence and negotiation make him a great professional and business partner: responsive, flexible, listening - and fun. I hope this is just the beginning of our collaboration!
