Italian term

era già attiva

Non-PRO Italian to English Bus/Financial General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Since I talk about business deals below (grandi affari) I'd rather not say here "Sotheby's, in business since 1744" (had opened its doors could be another but looking for something better), any suggestions?

Gli appuntamenti dell'Halcyon Gallery sono sempre un'Occasione per valutare gli ultimi lavori dei più importanti artisti contemporanei, del resto qui, tra Mayfair e Piccadilly, la casa d'aste Sotheby's era già attiva fin dal 1744.
In quest'area poi si sono sempre fatti grandi affari e, allora come oggi, i grandi "Developers" londinesi sapevano il fatto loro.
Bond Street mi assomiglia, così dinamica, così esclusiva, sempre emozionante.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

I like "in business since 1744". I wonder what was antique then.

Peer comment(s):

neutral Oliver Lawrence : 'established' collocates much more often with 'IN' than with 'since'
