Francesco Santi

Studio Portrait of Francesco Santi - Dated: Maggio 19, 1928.

Francesco was a student at Cicognini from 1927 through 1929. His father, Federico Santi, believed that a European education for his son was critical in prepairing him for his future. In this web site, images of Francesco's Cicognini years will be illustrated with notations as written by Francesco while a student. This site has been created by his son, Federico Santi.
