Francesco has been living in Rome since 2006, after having lived 16 years in Milan. He takes part in the planning and design of contemporary art collections as well as being an art advisor for art collectors, private and institutional investors, banks and for simply art lovers throughout Italy and abroad.

In addition, Francesco is responsible for the management and planning of art shows, projects and cultural communication activities for private companies and institutions, on a national and international level, with assistance from some artists, curators, galleries and art representatives chosen on behalf of their specialties in relation to the specificity of the project.

Together with his network and other cultural art representatives, he follows the institutions with strong interest, in attempts to fill the gap of velocity between politics and society, in hopes to produce quality projects.

Francesco is actively dedicated to planning cultural events connected to strategy and EduTainment, to promote the contamination between the expressive art language and business communication, in a synthesis of contemporary mecenatism, traverse the company that sponsors the artistic creation, transforming the role of a sponsor to the role of a partner.

He is a problem-solving oriented person and a team player. Francesco works internally with advanced systems, and believes in entrepreneurial strategies to plan and build creative, manageable, and professional models made to fit for art and culture. The growth of an artist depends on the capability of its art dealer, and also the support that he or she receives from organizations (pertaining to the art culture) and collectors (pertaining to its economic assistance). Therefore it is fundamental that all artists, whether it be Art Advisors or Art Collectors, do their part. They need to be satisfied and motivated, not trying to acquire the best deal as if they were at a local fruit market. The network must be on the same parameters, and price management and career development must be unambiguous, transparent and clever.

Here are a list of businesses and organizations that Francesco has worked with:

Biennale di Arti Visive of Beijing
Bosch Security System
Deutsche Bank Italia
Helsinn
SAS Business Intelligence
Terna SpA
as well as other organizations pertaining to the Commonwealth, Providence, and Region.
