It is also a key member of the G7, NATO, and major international regulatory bodies, making Italian an important language for diplomatic and institutional interpreting.
We provide Italian interpreters with specialist backgrounds in the sectors that drive Italian-language business: fashion and luxury goods, automotive engineering, pharmaceutical manufacturing, EU regulatory proceedings, and legal arbitration.
Our interpreters work across Italy's major business centers and are available for Rome, Milan, Turin, Bologna, and other key cities, as well as European capitals with significant Italian-speaking populations. Deeds, powers of attorney, and corporate records that go with an assignment can be prepared as a certified translation for an Italian Comune, a notary, or a US agency.

Italian Interpreting: Frequently Asked Questions
Can you provide Italian interpreters for EU Commission proceedings?
Yes. Italian is one of the EU's 24 official languages. Our interpreters cover European Commission hearings, European Parliament committee sessions, and EU agency proceedings where Italian interpretation is required.
Do you have Italian interpreters with fashion and luxury industry backgrounds?
Yes. We maintain a pool of Italian interpreters with professional experience in fashion, luxury goods, and design. This is essential for assignments at major fashion weeks and luxury brand negotiations where industry-specific vocabulary matters.
What is the typical turnaround for arranging Italian interpreting?
For most consecutive interpreting assignments (business meetings, legal hearings), we can confirm quickly. Simultaneous conference interpreting should be booked at least two to three weeks in advance, longer for very large events.
Do you cover Italian sign language (LIS) as well?
We do not currently provide Italian Sign Language (Lingua dei Segni Italiana) interpreting, which is a specialist service. Our Italian interpreting covers spoken/heard Italian only.
Can I get a certified Italian interpreter for a legal deposition or notarized proceeding?
Yes. Our Italian legal interpreters include those with court-approved credentials for depositions, notarized proceedings, and sworn statements. Please specify the legal context when requesting, and we will confirm the relevant certification.
