eagerly imitating their stage gestures and playing postures.

in classical guitar and Rock guitar. At the age of 11, he was finally accepted
into the Conservatorio Santa Cecilia in Rome. Here he earned a master's degree
in classical guitar in October 2020, while developing a passionate interest in
the electric guitar.
He has already performed all over the world as both a
classical and electric guitarist. Francesco also boasts active participation in
various musical projects spanning many different genres. He has been fortunate
enough to share the stage with high-profile musicians such as Mike Mangini,
John Macaluso and Gus G. He is constantly studying new techniques.
