Francesco Gheghi
Biography
Francesco Gheghi began his career at the age of 14 in "Io sono tempesta" (2018) by Daniele Luchetti and soon had the lucky opportunity to learn to act alongside great actors such as Elio Germano and Marco Giallini, but also with Alessandro Gassman in "Mio fratello Rincorre dinosauri" (2019) or Pierfrancesco Favino in "Padrenostro" (2020). His precocious talent was spotted by Marco Simon Puccioni who offered him his breakthrough role of Leone in the one-of-the-kind Netflix dramedy "The Invisible Thread" (2022) in which he plays Leone a teenager son of two dads (Filippo Timi, Francesco Scianna) who has to come to terms with the crisis of his family . After the spotlight that "The Invisible Thread" cast on his talents, Gheghi went on to receive several new opportunities, from Paolo Strippoli's horror film "Flowing" (Piove) to the urban road movie "Roma Blues", along with smaller appearances in "Maschile plurale" and Mario Martone's "Fuori". More recently, he has also taken part in some less compelling projects, such as Mauro Mancini's "Bare Hands" (Mani nude) and Daniele Barbiero's "Sharks" (Squali), but his greatest critical success remains his co-starring role in Francesco Costabile's "Familia", which earned him an award at the Venice Film Festival and a nomination for the David di Donatello.
