Francesca Ongaro graduated in 2022 with honours in Arts, Music and Entertainment (DAMS) from the University of Padua.

To support herself, she has worked with retail chains and IT service companies, performing a wide range of tasks. Francesca is a keen cinema enthusiast, with a special interest in Italian stardom of the 1920s and Japanese animated films of the early 2000s. She has been collaborating with Dolphin Biology and Conservation since 2026, analysing thousands of photos of dolphin dorsal fins taken in the Adriatic Sea.
