Fascinated with the guitar since early childhood, Francesco approaches music at the age of 6.
Following his father’s advice he begins to study the piano, only to find that between practising on the keyboard and solfeggio exercises , he keeps strumming his father’s guitar, playing “Smoke on the water” in the low E until he meets Gino De Cesare, who shows him how infinite possibilities open up by using all the six strings.
In the following 7 years with his new teacher he embarks upon a journey that explores worlds previously unknown to him. He discovers the spirit of Blues, the rhythm of Funk, the blend of influences of Fusion and he falls in love with the sophisticated melodies of Jazz after watching a mesmerising performance of Joe Pass on video.
