Italian to English: Anna Chromy 'Mantello di Pace'
Source text - Italian ARTE: ANNA CHROMY, 'MANTELLO DI PACE' PER BOSCO ASSISI /ANSA
PROGETTO DELLA SCULTRICE BOEMA SU BLOCCO MARMO DA 250 TONNELLATE
(ANSA) - CARRARA (MASSA CARRARA), 7 MAR - Nessuno, se non una
donna, poteva pensare che soltanto in un luogo raccolto, in una
sorta di grembo, una concretizzazione del dentro di se potesse
svilupparsi l' idea stessa di pace, e quindi di vita. E a questo
ha pensato Anna Chromy, artista e scultrice boema, che ha
piegato il candido marmo di Carrara per farne un' unica, piccola
cella destinata ad essere collocata all' inizio della selva di
san Francesco d' Assisi, a pochi passi dalla Basilica Superiore.
Il blocco di marmo che contiene in nuce l' opera di Anna
Chromy nasce dal fianco della montagna che ha donato nei secoli
i candidi monoliti per le opere di Michelangelo, nel bacino di
Torano sulle Alpi Apuane. Quando e' stato 'sbancato' dalle Cave
Michelangelo, quando cioe' e' stato estratto dal monte con l'
arte antica dei cavatori, il blocco aveva un peso di 250
tonnellate ed era assolutamente perfetto. Poi Chromy ha
cominciato a lavorarlo per farne uscire questa grande opera, una
'archiscultura'.
Anna Chromy e' considerata una delle scultrici viventi
maggiormente in grado di interpretare l' arte come un atto di
fede e, contemporaneamente, come provocazione.
Translation - English ART: ANNA CHROMY, ‘MANTLE OF PEACE’ for BOSCO ASSISI/ ANSA
A 250-ton marble block project by the bohemian sculptress
(ANSA) – CARRARA (MASSA CARRARA), 7th of March – Just an exceptional woman could have thought that it is only in a warm spot, in a womb-like environment, that it is solely within the materialization of our inner self that the idea of peace itself and thus of life can develop. And this is exactly what Anna Chromy thought. The bohemian artist and sculptress employed the white marble of Carrara to create a unique little cave destined to be located at the entrance of St Francis woods, just a few steps away from the Superior Basilica.
The marble block containing the yet embryonic work of Anna Chromy originates from the very mountainside that over the centuries provided the white monoliths used for Michelangelo’s works. The mountain is in the Apuane Alps and overlooks the Torano valley. When the block was extracted from the Michelangelo Quarries, the quarrymen cut the block from the mountain, using the traditional technique developed in the region over the centuries, the block weighed 250 tons and was absolutely perfect. Then Chromy started carving it and produced this great work of art, so great that it can be named an ‘archisculpture’.
Anna Chromy is considered to be amongst those contemporary sculptresses who can most effectively interpret art as a simultaneous act of faith and provocation.
French to English: Writing of desire
Source text - French Un magnifique hiéroglyphe visuel que mes mots ne rendront pas: dans Kaos, film que les frères Taviani ont tiréde quelques nouvelles de Pirandello, l’épilogue raconte un souvenir d’adolescence de la mère de l’écrivain, un voyage vers Malte. Lors d’une halte sur une des îles Eoliennes, la jeune fille regarde ses frères et soeurs courir vers la petite falaise blanche qui s’enfonce doucement dans la mer, tandis qu’elle reste avec sa mère. Désir bridé. Puis la mère, la devinant, la libère. Elle ôte alors ses larges robes et grimpe, en chemise et jupons blancs, au sommet de la falaise. Plan rapproché: la jeune fille lève lentement les bras (visage grave, intensité du geste ouvert par lequel elle semble prête à étreindre le monde), secondes suspendues, puis elle s’élance et les enfants suivent. Camera derrière eux, en plongée. On voit la demi-douzaine de petits corps en chemise descendre en bondissant sur la poudre blanche de la pierre ponce jusqu’à la mer turquoise où ils s’enfoncent – points noirs de têtes qui surnagent. On entend alors la merveilleuse cavatine de Barberina, L’ho perduta , qui n’entre pas pour peu dans l’émotion indescriptible qui chaque fois m’étreint jusqu’au larmes devant cette image de l’élan. Car la musique confirme alors ce que l’image pourrait faire oublier, la gravité et la mélancolie qui accompagnent la facilité de cette descente précédant l’extase du corps léger que soutiendra la mer. À moins qu’elle ne soit plutôt rappel du point de vue deux fois filtré: la vision émane de la jeune fille devenue femme plus âgée qui se souvient, et ce souvenir maternel n’est plus, lui-même, qu’une trace dans la mémoire du fils.
Translation - English Kaos, for example, features a marvellous visual hierogliph that expresses something I will never be able to convey with my own words. It is a film produced by the Taviani brothers and based on some of Pirandello’s short stories. The epilogue describes a memory from the youth of the author’s mother when she went for a trip to Malta. When the family stops at one of the Eolian islands, the young girl watches her brothers and sisters running towards the small white cliff that gently slopes down to the sea, while she stands by her mother. She keeps her desire under control until her mother senses she is longing to join them and sets her free. She then takes off her cumbersome dresses and climbs up to the top of the cliff in her blouse and white petticoat. Then she appears in the foreground while, with a solemn stance, she slowly lifts her arms up and opens them as if she is about to embrace the world. After a few seconds of suspense, she throws herself into the air, followed by the other children. The camera zooms downwards after them. It successfully immortalises the six tiny creatures in their shirts whilst falling, constantly rebounding against the fragmentary white pumice stone, before they plunge into the turquoise sea, their heads turning into floating black dots. Soon after, Barberina’s wonderful cavatina, L’ho perduta, breaks the silence, playing not a secondary role in the realisation of that indefinable feeling that never fails to hold my attention and brings tears to my eyes in the face of a scene of such emotional intensity. It is because the music instantly emphasises what is overlooked by the image; the solemnity and melancholy that go with the smoothness of the drop and the shock caused by viewing the weightless bodies floating on the sea surface. That is, unless it is not recalling the two different viewpoints involved – the adaptation of an incident seen through the eyes of a young woman who has grown old and remembers the event, and the event itself, which has lost its dreadful impact representing only a fraction of her son’s memory.

I am a native speaker of both Italian and English; having parents of both nationalities, I have always kept a foot in both countries and enjoy the charm of different cultures. Having grown up in Italy I have been living in the UK for over ten years now. I also translate from French and Spanish; I have undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications in Modern Languages and Translation Studies and taught English for a year in France.
My Masters degree in Applied Translation Studies inspired me to gain further insight into freelance work and now, as a professional, I have expanded my experience into various fields.
