Hello, my name is Francesco; I am Italian and 32 years old. I studied communication sciences in Ferrara and after working in that field I discovered my enthusiasm for agriculture, especially permaculture, alternative agriculture, self-sufficient community. For the last few years I have been working and volunteering in different countries like Belgium, Portugal, and Italy. Tasks included: plant gardens and grow vegetables and fruit trees whit permaculture and biodynamic system, lead groups of volunteers, organize meetings, earthen building, stove building, bake bread, make cheese and homemade pasta, work with animals, community building. During my studies I worked in a do-it-yourself shop, hence I am skilled in carpentry, building and fixing things in general. Furthermore I am part and cofounder of the medieval organization in Italy and organized medieval town festivals. I got a Permaculture Design Course from the Permaculture Research Institute and attended courses in Key Line Design, Biodynamic agriculture, Food Forest, Tree nursery, Deep Ecology, Mushroom productions. I am a very hard working person, eager to learn and share my knowledge, very social, motivated and patient.
