Translators Associations Europe: AITI
Uniting translators and interpreters in Italy
 Founded in 1950, the Italian Association of Translators and Interpreters (AITI) is a non-profit association of translators and interpreters in Italy.
The AITI is a founding member of the International Federation of Translators (FIT), a non-governmental agency that joints national associations of translators and interpreters and maintains formal consultative relations with UNESCO.
This translators association aims to promote: better conditions and benefits for translators and interpreters; legislative initiatives to see the professional status of copyright recognized in translation courses; the professional development of translators and interpreters; the collection and dissemination of information regarding the profession, including collaboration with institutions that train translators and interpreters.
AITI has a national executive council and eleven regional sections – these regional branches manage the association's activities at the regional level and assess and handle membership requirements.
The AITI carries out its activities at international, national and regional level.
