Hi, I’m Francesca
Hi, I’m Francesca
I’ve lived in Bologna for 22 years
I speak Italian and some English
I am phd student
My name is Francesca; I was born in the USA but grew up in Bologna. I studied the history of art in Ravenna: and now I'm a Ph.D. student at the Cultural Heritage Department of the University of Bologna in Ravenna. I'm passionate about Medieval and Renaissance art, but I'm also interested in new ways to communicate Cultural Heritage: specifically with ICTs, which is my research field. I want to be a host to know new people and narrate the history of my city.

Francesca felt like a friend and made good conversation. Gave us a lot of history and sightseeing, and ended with a few pasta dishes!
