The essence in the fly fishing casting

Welcome to my website

I was born in 1947 in the wonderful land called Abruzzo where several and beautiful rivers run. I met the fly fishing when I was 12 years old and from then I grow up daily my passion. When I start with fly fishing the tackles were the old bamboo rods and the technique I used was the traditional one passed to us by the local fly fishermen. They were used to fish using the Valsesiana Technique. The tackles were very simple but at the same time very functional. In the last years the continuos improving of materials and fly fishing tools allows to me to develop my own approach to the fly fishing tecnique.

Founding member of SIM (Italian School of fly fishing), I served for several years as Deputy Director, Vice President and instructor. I founded, along with other friends, IFFF (Italian Fly Fishing Federation), appendix to the American FFF. FFF Master and BOG (Board of Governors) of the FFF Europe, today EFFA (European Fly Fishing Association). I got to show my way of starting in different meetings and Fly Festival in various European countries: Germany, France, Slovenia, Denmark, Netherlands, Bosnia, Switzerland etc. My casting technique is simple: based on elementary principles of dynamics, produces beautiful results, aimed at meeting the needs of fisheries. The satisfaction of a well-executed launch merges with the capture more difficult.

possono regalarci piacevoli emozioni di pesca con la mosca.

Tutti i lanci sono stati effettuati con canne (un limitatissimo numero) da me progettate e prodotte nella prima metà degli anni '90;
ad eccezione del bastoncino di bambù, progettato e prodotto da madre natura: io l'ho solo scelto.
