Franceschini

I'm a Second-Year Student at Università Bocconi, studying Economics, Management and Computer Science.

Before moving to Milan, I completed my high school diploma at G.D. Cassini High School in Genoa, where I grew up. There, I joined the Maths school team and participated in Math competitions at the National level.

When I initially started Bocconi, I was actually a management major! However, after joining BSIC in my first semester, I realized that I wanted to pursue a career in Markets, and to do that I needed a more quantitative skillset. So, I decided to switch to the Computer Science course at Bocconi (BEMACS). Being in BSIC allowed me to meet a lot of other students with the same interests as me, who became friends and mentors, who gave me great advice on how to break into Markets and what skills I needed to do so. During the spring of my first year, I did a trading competition organized by Citadel and the Barclays Spring Week, and during the summer, I interned at Equita, in the Sales and Trading Division.

In my free time, I love traveling and exploring new places. I'm really into fine dining and often plan one- or two-days trips during weekends to try new restaurants across Italy. At the same time, I have a big passion for landscape photography: I have a Nikon Z5, which I always carry around during my trips, along with my tripod.
