“I was born in a valley in the italian Rhaetian Alps, I fish there since I was a child. I practice fly fishing and tying flies for almost 30 years.
I am on the board of directors and secretary of the Italian Fly Tiers Association, I am also its administrator of the Facebook group.
I give construction’s classes and educational events in the most important clubs in northern Italy.
I collaborate as an author of content for fly fishing Italian magazines PIPAM and La Pesca Mosca e Spinning. I collaborate also with the company 54 Dean Street, based in Bologna, creating contents for its web blog and YouTube channel.
I join, as a tyier, at events and fairs in Europe (Italy, Belgium, France, UK, Germany).
I am in the ProTeam of the UK company Semperfli (I am one of the five Italian tyers), and I collaborate with this company testing and evaluating new materials.
In addition to my Facebook profile, I have a YouTube channel and an Instagram profile (Fly Fishing and Tying Channel, with a few thousand followers) where I share videos and images of my own flies.
In the last years I was hooked about Tenkara fishing and especially about the construction of traditional Japanese flies (kebari).
I am the administrator of the Facebook group “Tenkara Italy” and I give a kebari construction class on the YouTube channel “Piacere Tenkara”
I am also a Professional Fishing Guide (AIGUPP – Italian Association of Professional Fishing Guides) and I offer Tenkara fishing guide service, mainly in the streams and rivers of the Alpine valleys”
