I was born in Brescia in 1979 and I live in Brescia on the outskirts of Val Trompia, an area rather rich in lakes and rivers.

The three river lakes are Lake Idro, Lake Iseo and the largest Lake Garda, to which are added their tributaries and emissaries, the Oglio river, the Chiese and also rivers with a smaller flow rate such as the Mella River.

My passion for fishing was born at the age of 4, when my father bought me my first fishing rod.

Lake fishing was my first passion, perch, sardines and aole the most common fish in the Brescia lakes.

From 18 to 30 years I approach carpfishing and spinning.

At the age of 30 I open my own business, a turnery, this is where my long break begins.

In April 2017 I began to get interested in the fly fishing technique, which had always fascinated me and so I start by attending courses and building my first flies.

The enthusiasm is so high that I go in search of ancient texts where I learn some basic notions for the construction of classic flies, certainly my favorites.

I share my flies on my instagram profile and on my youtube page with a good following.

Fly fishing is a true art form, because it is in the preparation rather than in the catch that the fisherman finds greater satisfaction. The challenge of finding the right fly, in making it by imagining the fish to which it is destined, always with respect due to the fish fauna that populates our beautiful lakes and rivers.
