Francesca Theresa Giovanni

Francesca has always had a brilliant mind and the family took early notice. They invested heavily in her education, not an easy task due to her sex and the rampant misogyny of Italy at the time. But, she persevered and excelled in her studies. Eventually, they began to task her with work managing various aspects of Giovanni business. 

This was test of not only her skills and intelligence, but also a test of her ability to control and lead others. Very few willingly followed the orders of a woman, unless they had been embraced, and scoffed at her as she issued commands. They learned the hard way to listen to what she said. Either they fell victim to their own arrogance or she broke their legs with a mallet. Soon, they learned to listen and Francesca turned a decent profit. Francesca was brought up for embrace and Alberto Vittorio Giovanni volunteered to bring her over. 

Since then, she has often taken a strong hand in controlling various aspects of the criminal side of the Giovanni. It didn't take the sire/childe bond for her to often agree with her sire on Mussolini and WW2.. she saw how detrimental he, and the war, would be to Italy and the family. 

Now that they are in Miami, she is the one in control of the daily affairs of the Giovanni. Alberto is delving deeply into Necromancy.. but Francesca is raking in heaps of money.
