ABOUT ME

Hello and Welcome!

My name is Francesca and I come from Italy. I live in the province of Padua enjoying the quiet country life with my husband and our little dog Paquita. I am of Cimbrian descent, precisely from the territory of the Asiago Plateau, an area in the Veneto region of north-east Italy. The language of my ancestors was Cimbrian, an High German Dialects like Yiddish. Even though I live in the Po Valley, my heart is inextricably linked to the Alps Mountains, and it is precisely there that I love walking in search of rocks. I'm an architect for the conservation of cultural heritage and a lapidary artist.

 

I love to study and my thirst for knowledge is inexhaustible! Everyday I create contents related to my studies and I enjoy creating digital printables and handmade items so please visit my Youtube Channel and my Online Shop.

 

 

Thanks for being here ♡
