Francesco Della Bona is an Italian illusionist whose contemporary visual magic draws on the language of cinema. His official site describes floating balls, slow-motion cards and vanishes staged as if they had escaped from a film, and records his 2025 FISM Grand Prix victory, the first for an Italian in seventy-three years. Della Bona also appeared on Penn & Teller: Fool Us and offers private-event enquiries through a direct email. The site supports active international work but does not clearly establish a current home city.
