Francesca started shooting and developing photos while studying architecture in Naples, Italy. After graduating, she took a 3 months photography course, and soon after she moved to NYC, with the idea of becoming a professional photographer. Once there, she ended up working as an architect, taking pictures in her free time. Back in Naples, in 2017 she got passionate about Street Photography, and since 2019 her work has been exhibited in various photography festivals and exhibitions worldwide, and it has been featured in numerous international magazines and webpages.

She is a member of the international street photography collective Through the Lands, which aims to connect 14 photographers from all over the world to show their unique P.O.V. of the countries they visit.

She is one of the 100 “Women Street Photographers” showcased in the book curated by Gulnara Samoilova and edited by Prestel Publishing.

In 2019 and 2020 she has been guest curator of Women In Street, a large international community of women street photographers.

In 2021 she represented the Women Street Photographers community, in behalf of its founder Gulnara Samoilova, at the Trieste Photo Days.

In 2022 she was chosen by Magazzini Fotografici to work on a personal project sponsored by the Museo Madre (Napoli) on the theme "Utopia/Dystopia"

In 2023 she has been invited as Guest Speaker and Judge at the Italian Street Photo Festival .

In June 2023 an article about Francesca has been published on the italian magazine "Il Fotografo".

In September 2023 Francesca wins the second prize with her collection "Napolism" at the Gothenburg Street Photography Festival.


In 2023 she has been invited by Eyeshot Magazine to run a series of photowalks and photo-experiences in Naples, during the Eyeshot Open Call Exhibition at Magazzini Fotografici, from November till January 2024.

Francesca is currently teaching art and photography.
