Francesco Gheghi began his career at the age of 14 in Daniele Luchetti's film "Io sono tempesta" (2018) and soon got the lucky opportunity to study acting with such great actors as Elio Germano and Marco Giallini, as well as with Alessandro Gassmann in "Mio fratello Rincorre dinosauri" (2019) and with Pierfrancesco Favino in "Padrenostro" (2020).

His early talent was noticed by Marco Simon Puccioni, who offered him his breakthrough role of Leone in the unique Netflix dramedy "The Invisible Thread" (2022), in which he plays Leone — a teenager, the son of two fathers (Filippo Timi, Francesco Scianna), who has to come to terms with a crisis in his family.

After "The Invisible Thread" drew attention to his talent, Gheghi received several new opportunities — from Paolo Strippoli's horror film "Flowing" (Piove) to the urban road movie "Roma Blues", as well as small roles in "Maschile plurale" and Mario Martone's "Fuori". Most recently he also took part in some less convincing projects, such as Mauro Mancini's "Bare Hands" (Mani nude) and Daniele Barbiero's "Sharks" (Squali), but his biggest critical success remains his supporting role in Francesco Costabile's "Familia", which earned him an award at the Venice Film Festival and a David di Donatello nomination.
