Francesco Da Mosto

Francesco has a strong bond to his birthplace - Italy, and more immediately with the city of Venice, where he currently lives with his family.

Francesco has travelled extensively ‘to taste the world outside of this marshy lagoon'. Just days following the murder of John Lennon and at 18 years old, Francesco went to London to wash dishes and make sandwiches to "try understand the working life and music where the English beat generation lived".

Later he moved to Rome for 2 years to make films, then Paris for another two years making documentaries and writing screenplays. After this he spent a month living with the Venice fire brigade at the fire station, night and day (to make a film for National Geographic about the firemen).

As an architect, he started his career as technical consultant for public infrastructure works in the lagoon. On the island of Pellestrina, in the south lagoon, he designed a square with a sundial where your shadow tells you the time and he worked closely with the late Aldo Rossi who won the competition to re build Venice's La Fenice Theatre, destroyed by fire in 1996. He has designed and executed many restorations in Venice, and still runs a busy architectural practice.

His military service was spent in the Italian Alpine paratroops regiment - parachuting onto the snowy mountains. He returned to the snow this year, as a participant in the Snow Show - a special exhibition which puts leading architects and artists together to create original installations for the Winter Olympics.

In 2008, Francesco's third BBC series hit the screens, following him sailing across the Mediterranean from Venice to Istanbul, retracing the old trade routes of his ancestors.
