Hi, I thought it may be useful to write something about who write this blog. First of all, I would like to underline that this blog is in NO way intended for marketing purpose of our firm. It is mostly a place where anyone of us can write whatever he/she wants and make it public. Quite appropriate I guess Secondly, nobody here at Traducendo is English mother tongue. We are all Italians, we write in English only because it's more widely understood around the world. Thirdly, nobody revise the posts. The reason is that nobody wants to advertise Traducendo Ltd, but just to express oneself. I understand that it looks like a corporate blog, but it isn't. Please consider it only as a showcase where the 3 splendid Traducendos write whatever pass through their mind.

Working at Traducendo Ltd we deal with wine almost on a daily basis. When we started we were quite ignorant on the topic, I mean, yes of course, we were able to choose a bottle of wine for a dinner and we could tell if a wine was good or not.

And crazy enough, and I am sorry to say but it's true, US is the world cradle of ignorance and over simplification. In this case I think it's fundamental to talk about the number of vine varieties, and wines, Americans b

Once again we are moving. This time destination is Italy. We are going back home you may say, even though, after 11 years around Europe, home is something very difficult to define. Home, in the last decade, has been the place where we were living, might it be Brussels, Barcelona, London, Ibiza, Berlin or Singapore. Home has been the place where we have found an internet connection and a power supply to work. And we have worked from everywhere. Bars, restaurants, clubs, sport centers, schools, universities, libraries, airports, seaports. My BA final thesis has been half written in Charles de Gaulle, Paris, airport and half in the Calle Pelayo Starbuck's in Barcelona. All this to say that also this time we are moving to somewhere we will consider home and Traducendo will come with us. Nomad as it was born. So, we are closing de El Palmar office (actually Irene already left, destination Granada for her), and we are about to open in Montefiascone, Viterbo, Italy. The spirit
