Listen to “Diana Cochran for Francesco’s Foundation” on Spreaker.

This foundation is being set up in FRANCESCO’S name to help prevent other teenagers from being tormented, cyber bullied, gossiped about, and/or discriminated against. We hope to transform our grief into action!

The foundation’s purpose will be to provide a bridge for parents and educators to know what children are experiencing on-line in order to prevent cyber bullying and harassment leading to the deterioration of mental health, self harm or in extreme cases, suicide. Francesco died on October 21, 2021. He was 17 years old and had been the victim of malicious rumors and cyber bullying . Prior to his quick spiral downwards he had been a happy, star student with everything to look forward to in the world. He was a victim of spiteful lies due to his sexual orientation. Francesco was experimenting and had not identified as gay, bisexual or straight but because of his openness at his school in Long Island he was the subject of vicious lies and ridicule. One night he was unable to take any more and he had a very uncharacteristic night of recklessness and although he had not set out to-Francesco did end his life on a moonlit beach in Southampton. http://www.francescosfoundation.org/

Early life and education

Borghese was born on June 9, 1972, in Milan, Italy. Borghese’s parents, Francesco and Amanda Borghese, have lived in Short Hills, New Jersey since 1979. [3] He holds dual U.S./Italian citizenship. Raised in Short Hills, he attended elementary school there. [3] He then graduated from Pomfret School in Pomfret, Connecticut, in 1991. [4] In 1995, he graduated from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, where he was initiated into the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. [5]

He earned an MBA degree from the Fordham Graduate School of Business in 2001. [6]

Business and philanthropy
Borghese resides in New York City. He initiated the Royal Treatment line of products, [7] a bath, body and skin care line for pets, using organic ingredients and fragrance oils from Italy, which can be found in hundreds of stores nationwide and on the television station HSN. He is a managing partner in LB2, LLC, a private-label Italian cosmetics company that sells numerous brands to major department stores and direct retail outlets. [8]
