He is graduated in Florence with excellent evaluations as well as the Lizard degree (with honors) in acoustic guitar and an “Honourable Mention”. Together with his main job of composer and music arranger he is the artistic director of Istituto di Musica della Pedemontana where he is a teacher too. Francesco’s main characteristic is the unique sound produced by his high-quality instruments. He always worked on a pop acoustic songbook using an handmade 7 strings guitar that was conceived and designed by the artist himself. Over the years Francesco has been embellishing his repertory thanks to his original compositions. In 2010 he met Tuck & Patti and together they co-produced his first official album in San Francisco with the title-track “Stop the time”. His last project is a sort of conceptual guitar show where he’s simply the only protagonist using the fingerstyle technique playing covers and the original songs of his last CD, Carillon
