What Aemilia Tradux does

Aemilia Tradux is a private translation and interpreting studio founded in 1990 in Modena, Italy, by Paola Fornaciari and Riccardo Terenzi. The firm operates from a headquarters at Palazzo Pongileoni on Via Farini 44 and serves a horizontal mix of professional clients including law firms, patent attorneys, industrial manufacturers, marketing agencies, and individual immigration applicants. Its core service lines span certified sworn translations, commercial and corporate translations, patent and IP translations, technical manual translations, website localization, simultaneous and consecutive interpretation, multilingual congress organization, Apostille/legalization, and Italian citizenship assistance.

The studio delivers services through a curated network of over 150 mother-tongue freelance translators plus in-house professionals, supported by Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools with client-specific glossaries and translation memories. A dual-control quality process routes every translation through a second sworn translator for review of accuracy, grammar, and morphosyntactic correctness before delivery. Interpretation offerings are differentiated by the Bidule wireless infrared simultaneous interpretation system, which supports events of up to 50 participants without soundproof booths or on-site technicians. The firm handles over 100,000 pages of translation and hundreds of interpreting days annually across more than 50 languages.

Revenue is generated through per-project, quote-based pricing across all service lines, with customers acquired primarily via direct channels — the company's website quote request form, phone, and email — supplemented by listings in Italian business directories and a 30+ year congress/event network. Delivery is remote-first (email, express courier) supporting a globally distributed client base, while the Modena office anchors in-person and regional engagement. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by document type, language pair, word count, file format, and turnaround time.
