Francesco Maria

A series of live shows where the best Italian and international DJs/artists will take turns to recall the cultural and musical journey from the past to the future of Touch The Wood.

Francesco Maria, not your typical club-born DJ, draws his inspiration from Italian songwriting of the 80s and 90s, finding in the words of De André, Guccini, and De Gregori the profound impact music can have in conveying ideas, emotions, and vibrations.

This realization, combined with his passion for club culture, drives him to pursue DJing and producing. His style defies categorization, blending groovy, wild notes with structured melodies and elegant sounds, captivating audiences and seamlessly adapting to the dancefloor. As resident DJ of Goa Ultrabeat, particularly at Goa Club, Hotel Butterfly, and Officine Farneto, he hones his craft alongside renowned names like Claudio Coccoluto and Adiel, profoundly shaping his musical journey. In 2020, he co-founds Mania, a party showcasing his unique vision and hosting acclaimed artists like Josh Baker and Mason Collective.

Simultaneously, he continues his residency at Officine Farneto, consistently bringing his sound and crew to the capital's stages. The birth of Community Sunday in 2023 further solidifies Mania's musical, artistic, and social mission, exemplified by a twelve-hour open-air festival collaborating with innovative brands across various sectors.
