Francesca Minini is the daughter of Massimo Minini, one of the most important galerists in Italy. She was raised in her fathers circle of artists, curators and gallerists.

In 1995, she started to work in galleries such as the Lisson Gallery in London and Barbara Gladstone in New York in summers and assisted her father at the gallery. Finally in February 2006 she decided to follow her father's footsteps and opened her own gallery in Milan, Italy.

The selection of the artists is linked to her personal taste and formation. She is interested in architecture and design. Among her selections there are Jan de Cock who intervenes in the environment with his installations to change the perception of the venue as well as Riccardo Previdi and Dan Graham.
