Francia began singing at a young age, participating in competitions in Umbria, which helped him earn notability and sign with Fonit Cetra. In 1967, he participated in the 4th Mediterranean Song Festival in Barcelona. That same year, he appeared on the television show "Settevoci". In 1968, he collaborated with Carmen Villani, Marisa Sannia, and Claudio Villa to record an album featuring songs performed at the Sanremo Music Festival 1968.
