Francesca Michielin is an Italian singer-songwriter from Bassano del Grappa who rose to fame after winning the fifth edition of X Factor Italy in 2011. She has released albums including Di20/Di20are and Feat (stato di natura), and authored the novel Il cuore è un organo.

Winner of X Factor Italy (2011). Represented Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 with "Nessun grado di separazione". Born in Bassano del Grappa, Italy. Worked with producers and collaborators noted in reviews (e.g., Michele Canova, Charlie Charles, Takagi & Ketra).

Three DeBaser reviews show a mixed reception: the novel Il cuore è un organo receives a warm, literary reading; the collaborative album Feat (stato di natura) is criticized for losing Michielin's personal voice; Di20are is seen as important but 'easy' material. Reviewers discuss songwriting, collaborations and live performance.

For:Fans of contemporary Italian pop, readers interested in musician-authors, and listeners curious about collaborations.

 'At twenty-two, I realized that what makes me the saddest are the maritime pines. And I discovered it on a sultry afternoon, just before realizing that life was stumbling through the tears in the fabric of destiny. Today my heart is in the shadow of a disordered row of pines with unruly roots. My feet search for balance among the cracks in the sidewalk, no one ever did anything to fix them, these obscene cracks, and I wonder [...] how do you become so neglected as to not understand that you must fix these cracks because they're awful? And why place wild pines over concrete if after fifteen minutes you have to redo everything from scratch?' (Chapter 1)
