Abstract

The paper offers an overview of the mediator/interpreter profile in Italy today, ranging from legislative provisions to labour market requirements. The following aspects are tackled in detail: Italian legal framework, implementation of legislative tenets into academic training programmes with special reference to the Scuola Superiore di Lingue Moderne per Interpreti e Traduttori of Forlì- University of Bologna, a description of the curriculum offered and its evaluation through a questionnaire distributed to 240 students, interpreting users’ and professionals’ needs and a proposal for a curriculum that takes into account the present working and educational requirements. Given the recent regulation of the profession and the freshly introduced University reform providing specific training, the paper ends with several open questions highlighting the implications of the present trends.
