Read More >>Hi I am Francesca, an Italian who since 2013 has been living as a volunteer in that fantastic, complex and exciting experiment called Auroville, an international community located in Tamilnadu, in southern India. I have been passionate about writing since I was a little girl and I have always written simply because I like doing it. In fact, it is essential for me to do so!

May this adventure of mine be an inspiration to you and give you the courage to undertake it in turn!
