Her talent was showcased in notable films, including Cristina Comencini’s Oscar-nominated *La bestia nel cuore* and Paolo Virzì’s *N (Io e Napoleone)* in 2006.

Between 2008 and 2011, she starred as Maya in the hit Rai Uno series *Tutti pazzi per amore*.

In 2009, Francesca returned to the big screen with three films: *Io, Don Giovanni*, *Questione di cuore*, and *Generazione 1000 euro*.
