Italian to English: Cicerenella - Italian nursery rhyme
Source text - Italian Cicerenella l'aveva una mula
tutto lo giorno la dava a vettura,
le metteva la briglia e la sella,
trotta, trotta, Cicerenella.
Cicerenella sul monte e sul piano
mai non cascava ed andava lontano.
Se di scudi portava un bel sacco,
trotta, trotta, non era mai stracco!
Cicerenella correva, correva,
cento chilometri al giorno faceva
e di notte seguiva una stella,
trotta, trotta, Cicerenella!
Cicerenella andava di fretta
e se ne stava seduto a cassetta,
non temeva ne pioggia ne vento,
trotta, trotta, cantava contento!
Cicerenella l'aveva una mula
tutto lo giorno la dava a vettura,
le metteva la briglia e la sella,
trotta, trotta, Cicerenella.
Translation - English Cicerenella, his mule he would hire
Hitched to his wagon she never would tire;
When she was harnessed with saddle and bridle,
Trit-trot, trit-trot, they never went idle.
Over the plains, the mountains and hills,
He never fell off, he suffered no ills.
Whenever his sack was brimful of gold,
Trit-trot, trit-trot, he never felt old.
So Cicerenella went speeding away,
Hundreds of miles he would ride every day;
When the night fell he would follow his star,
Trit-trot, trit-trot, he travelled afar.
As Cicerenella went tearing along,
Atop of his box he'd be singing a song,
Blithely he'd brave both the wind and the rain,
Trit-trot, trit-trot, he'd sing his refrain!
English to Italian: Wee Willie Winkie - English nursery rhyme
Source text - English Wee Willie Winkie
Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town,
Upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown,
Rapping at the windows, crying through the lock,
Are all the children in their beds, it's past eight o'clock?

The Emperor Hadrian
The Emperor Hadrian (born AD 76 reigned AD 117–138) transformed the Roman Empire and left an enduring legacy. He ruled a vast territory that stretched from Britain to North Africa, from Spain to the Middle East.
A new elite
Hadrian was born in Italica in SpainRome in AD 76. His family belonged to the Roman elite of the province of Spain.Although from a wealthy family, he was not the son of an emperor. HeHadrian was adopted into the imperial family by his predecessor, Trajan.
War and peace
When Hadrian came to power in August AD 117, the empire was in turmoil. Rebellions against Roman rule raged in several provinces. Hadrian realigned the empire’s borders and ruthlessly suppressed internal dissent.
Architecture
Hadrian had a keen personal interest in architecture. Some of the most famous buildings of the ancient world were constructed during his reign. The most iconic is the Pantheon in Rome. He also built a magnificent new country residence outside the city, near Tivoli.
Antinous
We know little of the life of Hadrian’s wife Sabina. Their marriage appears to have been arranged for political reasons. We do know that Hadrian had a young male Greek lover, Antinous. For the Romans homosexual relationships were not unusual, but the intensity with which Hadrian mourned Antinous’ premature death was without precedent.
Succession
Hadrian died on 10 July AD 138. Before his death he ensured there would be a smooth transition of power to his chosen successors. In a bold political statement he built himself a large tomb in the centre of Rome.
Hadrian’s rule greatly strengthened the Roman Empire. His reforms ensured its survival far into the future. His legacy still affects our lives today.

Exit
L’Imperatore Adriano (nato nel 76 d.C., regnò dal 117 al 138 d.C.) trasformò l’Impero Romano e lasciò un retaggio duraturo. Regnò su un vasto territorio articolato dalla Britannia al Nord Africa, dalla Spagna al Medio Oriente.
Una nuova elite
Adriano nacque a Roma nel 76 d.C. La sua famiglia apparteneva all’elite romana della provincia spagnola. Adriano fu adottato dal suo predecessore, Traiano, e accolto nella famiglia imperiale.
Guerra e pace
Nel 117 d.C., quando Adriano assurse al potere, l’impero era in subbuglio, con ribellioni in atto contro il dominio romano in diverse province. Adriano riallineò i confini dell’impero e soppresse spietatamente le sollevazioni interne.
Architettura
Adriano era appassionato di architettura. Alcune delle costruzioni più famose del mondo antico furono erette durante il suo regno, la più iconica delle quali è il Pantheon a Roma. Adriano si fece inoltre costruire una nuova magnifica villa imperiale nella campagna vicino Tivoli, nel Lazio.
Antinoo
Non sappiamo molto della vita di Sabina, moglie di Adriano, ma sembra che il loro matrimonio fosse stato combinato per ragioni politiche. Invece sappiamo che Adriano aveva un giovane amante greco, Antinoo. Per i Romani non era insolito avere relazioni omosessuali, tuttavia l’intensità del lutto di Adriano per la morte prematura di Antinoo fu senza precedenti.
Successione
Adriano morì il 10 luglio 138 d.C. Prima di morire si assicurò che il potere sarebbe passato senza intoppi ai successori scelti da lui, inoltre con uno spavaldo gesto politico si costruì un imponente mausoleo al centro di Roma.
Il regno di Adriano rafforzò enormemente l’Impero Romano. Le sue riforme ne assicurarono la sopravvivenza a lungo e il retaggio del suo operato influenza ancora la nostra vita odierna.

A few examples from a 14000 word translation for the British Museum, with descriptions of around 60 objects from the BM collection.
The Hoxne Hoard
Roman Britain, buried in the 5th century AD
Found at Hoxne, Suffolk in 1992
The Hoxne (pronounced 'Hoxon') hoard consists of over 15,000 gold and silver coins, gold jewellery and numerous small items of silver tableware, including pepper pots, ladles and spoons. Also found were traces of a large wooden chest and smaller caskets with tiny silver padlocks, into which the treasure had been carefully secreted. It was discovered in November 1992 by Eric Lawes, who immediately reported the find and did not remove all the objects from the ground. This responsible conduct enabled the Suffolk Archaeological Unit to carry out a controlled excavation of the deposit, which has greatly enhanced the importance of the Hoxne Treasure for research in the future.
Lindow Man
Victim of a sacrifice?
Iron Age, mid-1st century AD
Found in Lindow Moss, Cheshire, England (1984)
The body of this man was discovered in August 1984 when workmen were cutting peat at Lindow Moss bog in north west England. It was carefully transported to the British Museum and thoroughly examined by a team of scientists. Their research has allowed us to learn more about this person – his health, his appearance and how he might have died – than any other prehistoric person found in Britain.
Helmet from the ship-burial at Sutton Hoo
An iron helmet covered with decorative panels of tinned bronze
Anglo-Saxon, early 7th century AD
From Mound 1, Sutton Hoo, Suffolk, England
This extraordinary helmet is very rare; only four helmets dating to the early medieval period have been found so far in England: at Sutton Hoo, Benty Grange, Wollaston and York.
Translation - Italian Per l'agenzia Andiamo!, RU
Qualche esempio di una traduzione di 14000 parole per il British Museum, con descrizioni di circa 60 oggetti appartenenti alla collezione del BM.
Il tesoro di Hoxne
Britannia romana, sotterrata nel 5° secolo d.C.
Rinvenuto a Hoxne, Suffolk, Inghilterra, nel 1992
Il tesoro di Hoxne (pronunziato ‘Hoxon’) consiste di oltre 15.000 monete in oro e argento, gioielli in oro e numerosi piccoli oggetti per la tavola in argento, fra cui pepaiole, mestoli e cucchiai. Sono stati rinvenuti inoltre tracce di una grande cassa e cofanetti più piccoli con minuscoli lucchetti d’argento, in cui il tesoro era stato attentamente celato. È stato scoperto in novembre 1992 da Eric Lawes, che segnalò immediatamente il ritrovamento e non rimosse tutti gli oggetti dalla terrà. Grazie a tale condotta responsabile l’Unità archeologica del Suffolk poté condurre uno scavo controllato del deposito, il che ha reso ancora più importante il tesoro di Hoxne per la ricerca futura.
Uomo di Lindow
Vittima sacrificale?
Età del Ferro, metà del 1° secolo d.C.
Rinvenuto a Lindow Moss, Cheshire, Inghilterra (1984)
Il cadavere mummificato di quest’uomo è stato rinvenuto in agosto 1984, da alcuni operai che raccoglievano la torba nella torbiera di Lindow Moss, nell’Inghilterra nord-occidentale. Il corpo fu trasportato con cura al British Museum e studiato approfonditamente da un’équipe di scienziati. Grazie alle loro ricerche sappiamo molto di più su questa persona – il suo aspetto, la sua salute, le cause della sua morte – che su qualsiasi altra persona preistorica trovata in Gran Bretagna.
Elmo dalla nave funeraria di Sutton Hoo
Un elmo in ferro ricoperto di pannelli decorativi in bronzo stagnato
Anglosassone, inizio del 7° secolo d.C.
Dal tumulo 1, Sutton Hoo, Suffolk, Inghilterra
Questo straordinario elmo è rarissimo; finora sono stati rinvenuti in Inghilterra solo quattro elmi risalenti all’inizio del medioevo: a Sutton Hoo, Benty Grange, Wollaston e York.
