Born in New York City, on 7th March 1977, Francesco spent much of his youth traveling between the US and Europe. He grew up performing in plays that his father wrote, directed, and produced; shot a commercial at the age of nine; and also worked in television. At the age of 14, he and his family moved to Italy where he enrolled in a well-respected Art Institute. Francesco degreed as an art teacher, graphic designer and history of art specialist. He then went to Milan to work as a model, but soon realized fashion would not interest him. In response, he dramatically transformed his appearance through punkish hairstyles, goth clothes, grunge attitudes, etc. Soon Francesco made yet another transition into the operatic world. He trained as an opera singer for two years, which revealed a four-octave range. Now residing in Los Angeles, Francesco is busy with Theatre productions and independent films.
