'Valentina Maniacco was recently awarded a PhD by Griffith University, Queensland, Australia. One part of her PhD comprised a translation, from Italian into English, of one of her uncle’s memoirs, Mestri di mont (published in 2020). The other was her own memoir of the experience and how she transitioned from translator to writer in the process. She has also translated a short story by Wu Ming called American Parmigiano, which the authors published on their website. She is currently teaching Italian and cannot wait to return to Italy again.'
