Guide Description
Hooked on fishing since day one, he inherited this passion—some might say obsession—from his grandfather at a very young age. He grew up fishing a wide variety of species in both still and flowing waters across central Italy. It all started with a deep love for trout and pike, which eventually expanded to include other species like asp and perch.
Over time, his fascination with the many phenotypes of trout led him to explore some of the most remote and wild environments—from deep valleys in central and southern Italy in search of big Mediterranean trout and lake-dwelling trout, to the northern rivers chasing massive marble trout.
This wide range of experiences, across different waters and targeting different species, has made him a versatile and adaptive angler—someone who knows how to read the water and unlock the right strategy for any situation.
