In Steve Lehman’s words “Francesca has had an uncompromising vision as both a performer and a composer. Her new recording “Il Labirinto Dei Topi” is one of the most exciting debut albums I’ve heard in recent memory.” Francesca’s band Archipélagos won the competition All You Have to do is Play 2019, launched by the label Emme Record Label. In January 2021, this Italian jazz label published Francesca’s first album as a leader Il Labirinto Dei Topi. Archipélagos was also one of the three finalists at the Maastricht Jazz Awards 2020.
