Francesco spent his childhood summers freediving in Portofino where he developed his love of the sea. The work of Jaques Cousteau and Luc Besson’s film The Big Blue were responsible for his desire to become a marine biologist. As things would turn out however he followed a career in music where he has become a successful recording engineer and owner of 2 world class recording studios.
