Francesca
Leone was born on March 12, 1964 in Rome, Italy. She is the granddaughter of
director Roberto Roberti [1879-1959] actress Bice Valeriari [1886-1969] and the
daughter of producer, director Sergio Leone [1929-1989]. Francesca is the
sister of actress Raffaella Leone [1961- ] and producer Andrea Leone [1967- ].
Francesca spent her childhood and adolescence in the international world of
cinema and art: her father is the Sergio, her mother, Carla Rinaldi, was the
prima ballerina of the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma. Her artistic training took
place in an atmosphere rich in stimuli and cultural ferment. After following
the course of scenography at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, she devoted
herself entirely to painting. She attended a finishing school, graduating,
under the guidance of Professor Lino Tardia, at the Rome University of Fine
Arts. Francesca appeared in two cameo roles in Euro-westerns, as Tomaso’s baby son who is shot and killed along with Tomaso’s wife by Indio in “For a Few Dollar’s More” (1965) as along with her sister Raffaella as two girls at the Flagstone station in “Once Upon a Time in the West” (1968).
Today Francesca is an accomplished painter and artist showing her paintings and scupltures in galleries throughout Europe.
