Born and raised in Palermo, Italy, Roberto earned a Laurea (Master’s Degree) in Electronic Engineering and certification as a Professional Engineer. His education in the US includes a Master of Engineering and a Degree of Electrical Engineer from the University of Utah. He worked as R&D engineer in Italy and the United States.

Roberto is a member of the American Translators Association (ATA), certified from English into Italian, and chair of the ATA Italian graders workgroup for the E>I certification exam. He has been a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE ) since 1987 and is a Senior Member of the Society for Technical Communication (STC).

He has published several articles in the ATA Chronicle on terminology and style in technical translations.

Roberto is the author of two training modules on technical translation into Italian, written for ICoN (Italian Culture on the Net) Group. In  partnership with three Italian universities, ICoN offers a Master in Translation modeled after the European Master’s in Translation. Among university professors specialized in translation and world-class professional translators, IcoN decided that Roberto was the person most suited to write about the various aspects of technical translation into Italian.

He also writes a column on translation (in Italian) for the web site of SIS (Servizio d’italiano scritto), a nonprofit association for the advancement of business writing in Italian established by the University of Venice.

From 2000 through 2006 Roberto was editor of Tradurre, the newsletter of the Italian Language Division of the ATA. He also contributes technical articles to Italian trade magazines.
