Margherita has translated plays, films and so far more than 70 books, mostly fiction, from Norwegian to Italian, but she also translates from Swedish and Danish. Conveying the importance of translation to non-professionals, is something she finds very rewarding and inspiring, and also exchanging ideas and experiences with colleagues from all over the world.
