Francesca Elisabetta is a dual citizen of the United States and Italy, a connection that began through her Italian grandparents and the discovery of her extended Italian family. She lived in Spoleto for over 15 years, raising her daughter and immersing herself in the rhythm of small-town life.

Her perspective is shaped by decades of international experiences, personal resilience, and a deep familiarity with healthcare systems abroad—especially following extensive, complex medical care, including open-heart surgery in Rome. These experiences have given her an intuitive understanding of culture, wellness, and community.

She has been featured in media such as AARP Ethel, CNN, and Authority Magazine, sharing reflections rooted in lived experience. Inspired by travel and recovery, Francesca continues to explore how place, heritage, and healing shape our lives.
