Claudia Di Francesco: Between Ostia and Florence, Painting Memory and Light
Claudia Di Francesco, an artist originally from Ostia Lido, now resides and creates in Florence, where she studied Visual Arts. Her unique painting technique combines pencil drawing with oil paint, often involving partial erasure and translucent layers.
