Overview
Hello!
I'm an Italian illustrator focused on children's books. After my studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lecce (Italy) I followed my interest abroad through different courses. I discovered my passion at the Sarmede International School of Illustration and I started to work on Reedsy for privat clients. As today I've completed few books and it was always different and fascinating. So here I am, expressing myself and my ideas through my art.

I want to write another book just so I can work with Francesca again! She's super talented and very easy to get along with. She's very responsive and does a good job of communicating with you. She was excellent to work with. I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with her. Thank you Francesca!

Francesca is a wonderful and talented artist. She is professional and communicates clearly. She worked hard to communicate with both me as the publisher and the demands of the author/client. I am would definitely recommend her again!
