Marco Di Francesco
was born in Isola del Gran Sasso in 1950. Until the age of sixteen, he lived in the woods and valleys on the slopes of the Gran Sasso; and it was here, in this enchanted and silent place, that he absorbed a sense of the wonder of nature.
"Life is an inexplicable gift and although we see scenes of war, hatred and human misery every day, it remains immeasurably delicate and wonderful. We should always remain in love with it."
