About me

Hi, I am Rosangela Fasolato, 

a freelance translator and journalist.

Welcome!

Who I am

I have a degree in Communication Science with a specialization in Journalism from
the Federal University of Juiz de Fora.
I am registered as a professional journalist in the register of regular professions in Brazil. For many years, I worked as a reporter in daily newspapers,
in the press office of public institutions, and as a content creator for company newsletters. In 2008, I began my career as a freelance translator.
Nowadays, I work with technical, editorial, educational, and mass media translation, besides putting myself available also for translating documents in general.
I also write content for the web.
I am the translator of “
O Tradutor Insubstituível”, from Italian to Portuguese.

I love the challenge of finding the proper word.

My history

Brazil is my birthplace, where I studied and lived for a big chunk of my life. In 1991, I moved to Oxford, in England, where I lived for four years. In 2006, I went to Ann Arbor, USA, and there I spent one year and a half. These moves allowed me to deepen my knowledge of English. From there, start working in translation was natural. Later on, in 2014, I came to live in Italy, and that was a key to boost my Italian knowledge. In the luggage, I brought my experiences in journalism and translation, the willingness to stay on the peninsula, and the happiness of making my deepest secret wish real, the one which I’ve been keeping on the bottom of a closed drawer. Now, I am adding to it more knowledge and taking another challenge: after a year studying Spanish, I’m feeling ready to expand my career even more. Do you also have a dream locked up in the drawer for years? Does it need a translation to be complete? If yes, contact me!

Long ago, in a distant land called Torreglia, situated at the foot of the Euganean Hills, lived with his family a young peasant named Valentino. They were very poor, and Valentino dreamed of having a better life. One day, he met the young and beautiful Elvira. They fell in love, got married, and set off on a long journey abroad on the Rosario steamship. After a month, overcoming the trip’s adversities and illnesses, on May 2nd, 1896, they arrived at the port of Rio de Janeiro and, finally, at their last destination: Juiz de Fora, my hometown. Valentino Fasolato and Elvira Pressato did not know but from the decision of leaving Italy, they also started to draw my history.
