How it works
Used for Italian citizenship and genealogy research: birth, marriage and death records from Italian comuni, plus family letters and property documents.
False friends: burro means butter, caldo means hot and parenti means relatives, not parents. Keep office and town names in Italian.
English usually takes less room than Spanish, French or German, so the document layout has space to spare.
Italian legal and administrative texts use long, formal sentences. The translation keeps them readable, but check key terms.
