Interested in prehisotirical and protohistorical navigation, he has been the Italian member of the International Scientific Committee (2005-2008) of the UNESCO Pile Dwelling Sites List of the Alpine Region project. As archaeologist he has directed more than 50 researches in Italy and oversea and as naval archaeologist he has directed the excavation of the Sewn Plank Boat from Cavanella d'Adige, of the post-medieval wreck of San Nicolicchio. In 2011 Francesco has directed the excavation and recovery of the Roman Wreck in Marausa (TP).
From 2004 to 2011 Francesco has been involved in Archeomar Project 1 and 2, at the beginning as underwater archaeologist - directing the inshore researches in Calabria and Basilicata regions - and from 2009 to 2011 as director of the offshore and deep instrumental researches in Lazio region and as director of the Data Editing of the Phase III of the project.
Chairman of the AIASub (Italian Association of Underwater Archaeologists) tutor of the Nautical Archaeology Society from 2012 Francesco has become oversea correspondent of the Mariner's Mirror, the journal of the Society for Nautical Research from Portsmouth - UK.edit

Ce travail de recherche est consacré à l’analyse des évidences directes et indirectes des moyens de navigation en milieu maritime dans la partie occidentale de la Méditerranée, du début jusqu’à de l’âge du Fer Premier. A partir de la révision générale du répertoire iconographique de la période provenant de plusieurs sites colloqués entre l’Adriatique et la péninsule Ibérique, l’étude conduite souligne l’existence de plusieurs traditions locaux, reconnaissables en clé régionale, à partir du moins de l’âge du Bronze. L’identification de ces traditions, bien lisibles à travers les expressions culturelles des peuples locaux, nous permet d’affirmer que plusieurs peuples de cette partie de la Méditerranée antique avaient déjà développé, le long de la préhistoire, des solutions techniques et formelles propres dans le domaine naval. Dans les chapitres, l’analyse de ces éléments techniques et culturels de l’Occident est donc gérée tant à partir de l’iconographie qu’à la lumière des épaves. M...

The maritime dimension of the different cultures which archaeological research has defined over the years on the shores of the Mediterranean is often considered one of the most interesting elements for understanding how people moved around the Mediterranean basin during ancient times. Particularly for prehistory the need for a better investigation of the naval and nautical dimension of ancient peoples appears nowadays to be extremely urgent due to a lack of information about the Western Mediterranean that determined the birth of a diffusionist theory in accordance with the now surpassed ex oriente lux-theory. The recent development of naval archaeology as a proper discipline, and not just as a branch of maritime archaeology or commercial history, allows us to adopt a new paradigm. The possibility to examine a good number of wrecks as well as the naval iconography of the Mediterranean in the light of the knowledge we have about ancient naval technology is the base of our capability t...

This paper presents both archaeological evidence and technical features that allows the identification of two of the wooden objects discovered in 2001 at the site of a 1st-century-AD shipyard in Olbia, Sardinia, as masts. The structure and dimensions of the objects are presented and compared with similar artefacts which have been interpreted as rudder-stocks in order to establish their specific and distinct features. Possible retaining and lowering systems for the masts, and evidence of wooden mast-ladders are discussed through examination of archaeological parallels and Roman iconography.

ABSTRACT Discovered in 1955, not far from the Roman necropolis of Pedemonte, the Gravellona Toce boat has long been considered evidence of Roman-period riverine navigation in northern Italy. This initial interpretation, which was not supported by direct dating evidence, has been recently reconsidered on the basis of radiocarbon-dating and analysis of the timbers retrieved. In this paper, the authors present the results of the recent analysis of the surviving remains which allow the vessel to be interpreted as a post medieval boat built using the traditional bottom-based construction techniques of the Po Valley region.
