Biography

[edit]

Francesco started playing guitar at age 12 and published his first guitar book, My Acoustic Blues Guitar, in 1986. He obtained a degree in Law from the University of Bologna in 1987 and has worked as a journalist with the magazines Guitar Club, Chitarre and Acoustic Guitar.

As a musician, Morone has performed with Woody Mann, John Renbourn, Alex de Grassi, Beppe Gambetta, Peter Finger, Tim Sparks, and Leo Kottke. He regularly performs solo and in a duo with singer Raffaella Luna[5] and has recorded for Ariola MBG, Carisch, Bèrben and currently produces with his label Acoustic Guitar Workshops - Italy.

His collection Italian Fingerstyle Guitar has achieved recognition in the category of best album of the solo guitar by GPJ Folk Awards for American independent music.

He has appeared as a guest on several television broadcasts to discuss and perform his music.[6]

His recent critically acclaimed solo album, Strings of Heart, received widespread international praise from acoustic guitar publications and critics for its refined phrasing and melodic depth [7].[8]
