Ciao! I’m Francesca. I graduated in Business Administration from the University of Bologna, where I lived for over 10 years. Originally from Salento, I have also lived in Switzerland and the United States.

During my university years, I had the privilege of studying abroad through the Erasmus program at the University of Valladolid in Spain, and I was also a visiting student in International Marketing at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. These experiences completely changed my life!

I lived in Washington, DC for 7 years, where I worked for two prestigious language schools for adults and children, Casa Italiana and Carlos Rosario International Public Charter School, after gaining extensive experience in the philanthropic sector in fundraising for a renowned NGO, UnidosUS.

For over 5 years, I’ve been promoting the image of Mangiaparole school, both in Italy and abroad, working closely with the teaching team and our students. I’m the head of marketing, and I’m always available to answer any questions you may have about our courses.

I’m fluent in Italian, English, and Spanish. I love engaging with people and experimenting with new ideas, bringing together individuals from different backgrounds to create an inclusive and stimulating learning environment. I’m an optimist, always seeing the glass half full, and I love communicating authentically—sometimes even with gestures, like a true Italian! 

My passion for languages and Italian culture, along with my empathy and curiosity, constantly drives me to embark on new adventures. Promoting the spread of our language across the world is an exciting mission for me, and I can’t wait to share this journey with each and every one of you!


My favorite pasta dish is: lasagna!

Fun fact: When I speak Spanish everyone asks me if I’m Argentinian!
