Expert assistant in German Language at the Faculty of Foreign
languages and Literatures, University of Turin
The Dizionario di Tedesco was awarded the “National Prize for
Translation” by the Ministry of National the Heritage and
Culture. The award grounds are:
"... ... The Dizionario di Tedesco represents an excellent
standard in lexicographic activities. It is distinguished by the
breadth of its vocabulary, as well as by wealth of information,
not only semantic but also stylistic, of register, etc. , which allow
the readers to insert single lexemes in the chain of the sentence
in the most appropriate and idiomatically correct way.
... is felt most clearly an updated scientific knowledge, which
goes beyond the traditional bilingual dictionaries. "
The Dizionario di Tedesco had a special mention of Monselice
Prize for Translation.
I won the international competition organized by the Accademia
di Studi Italo-Tedeschi of Merano and was awarded a prize for
best degree-thesis, resulting first in the list.
