Dall’italiano al mondo: an online meeting for translators on November 20
Translating a book also means deciding which book to propose. That is our editorial angle on “Dall'italiano al mondo”, the Salone Internazionale del Libro di Torino's online conference for translators working from Italian, on Friday, November 20, 2026, from 14:30.[1]
Biblit had already reported the announcement on October 25: this is not an event announced today.[3]
**Nationwide access, without travelling to Turin.** The event is streamed on the Academy platform and participation is free.[1]
The course page is restricted to the Translator professional profile: it should not be presented as a course with unrestricted access.[2]
The official notice asks participants to register their profession in the Salone's account area and then enrol in the conference; Academy displays a “Log in to enrol” link.[1][2]
We have neither enrolled nor checked remaining places through an account.
**The announced programme.** Curated and hosted by Ilide Carmignani, the programme opens at 14:30 with Annalena Benini, Roberta Fabbri and Francesca Novajra.[1]
Fiction and non-fiction with Vanni Santoni and Chiara Valerio follow at 14:45, with poetry and Antonio Riccardi at 15:30.[1]
At 16:15 the focus turns to children's literature, comics and graphic novels with Beatrice Masini; at 16:45 Maddalena Vaglio Tanet discusses the translator-scout's proposal.[1]
Closing remarks with Carmignani and Lorenza Honorati begin at 17:15: that is the start of the final item, not a stated finishing time.[1]
These are scheduled sessions, not talks that have already taken place.
**Times: a discrepancy to check.** The Salone notice and Academy heading give a 14:30 start, but the module card also displays “13:30-17:00”, with no timezone specified.[1][2]
We follow the official notice's programme without automatically correcting the other time band or inferring an end time. Before planning attendance, check the agenda in your account or request confirmation at info@salonelibro.it.[2]
For this guide, programme times are expressed in Italian local time, Europe/Rome: on November 20 this is CET, UTC+1, an editorial timezone conversion rather than wording from the programme.
In our reading, the reason to attend is to explore how a publishing choice becomes a translation proposal. There is no promise of assignments or guaranteed contacts: this is an opportunity for professional orientation.
