Francesco is such a wonderful host! He's so warm, kind, friendly - gave me two great restaurant recommendations, offered to make me coffee when we overlapped in the mornings, directed me to a local supermarket when I didn't have time to sit at a restaurant during my work day. I enjoyed my conversation with him - he knows some French, so we spoke in a combination of French, Spanish, English, Italian. Francesco's place is well decorated - and he is a legit rock music composer!! He made it in two newspapers during my time there and he is going on tour around Italy and Germany soon. I'm excited to listen to his CD he gave me. Francesco was so polite and closed the door to the living room when he was playing music, but it was so beautiful to hear that I opened my door. I worked on my computer every weekday, and the Wifi was great and the environment quiet and conducive to getting work done. Can't wait to meet Francesco again!
