Make your stories shine worldwide
In a globalized world, the success of movies and TV shows hinges on international reception.
The goal of any filmmaker is to convey messages and emotions by transposing stories and characters to the screen. Localized versions are only as good if faithful to the creative intent that sparked their creation.
Hi, I’m Riccardo, your localization specialist.
With my audiovisual translation and subtitling services:
- the original meaning is delivered as the author intended
- dialogues sound natural and genuine, as if conceived in the local language
- the final result triggers the same feelings in foreign viewers

Localization
Sometimes translating is not enough. More often than you think, you need to adapt cultural references and local standards for each specific region.
I can help you localize your content to win over the Italian market.
Make sure you communicate efficiently with your audience and they’ll be back for more.
- Website Localization
- Video game Localization
- App Localization
Specialized Translation
Smooth texts that don’t sound like translations can get your messages across the language barrier, whether we’re talking about technical or more creative content, like marketing presentations and brochures.
These are my main fields of expertise:
- Entertainment
- Tourism & Travel
- Sports & Games
- Politics
- IT & Hi-Tech
I also manage your terminology and glossaries to keep everything consistent, and I work with professional DTP software to match the original design or add beautiful layouts.
Revision & Quality Control
Typos and mistakes can make your text look cheap, distract the readers and make them lose interest. Let’s avoid all that.
For both video and written content, careful proofreading and editing can make a huge difference.
Language, tone of voice, formatting… everything will be ready for publishing.
Consulting
Enter a foreign market and set up the right localization strategy without incurring in common fails.
I can also help you address languages and combinations I don’t cover, working side by side with trusted colleagues in my network.
I can rely on a great variety of professionals for the whole audiovisual production process.
Film Festival Solutions
At film festivals, subtitles can make it or break it.
Great screening time for your work.
The recognition you deserve.
My Work
I completed hundreds of projects for film studios, broadcast networks and VOD platforms.
From comedy specials to corporate videos, I’m experienced in a wide variety of genres, so I know how to tackle the challenges of each one of them and which techniques are most suitable to your goals.
