TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF:  I am 59 years old and I live in an ancient and beautiful city in Central Italy, Ascoli Piceno, founded 1600 years before Rome!!!

I have been working for almost thirty years in a composite material company (carbon, fiberglass, Kevlar, etc.).

I am Married, have a daughter and two female cats…I'm surrounded by women!!! In addition to fishing, I play tennis and I am passionate about books, I like to read horror stories (Stephen King and H. P. Lovecraft are my favorites) and ufology books.
 I also have a fishing library of about 150 books
I can't stand people who talk too much: we should talk less and reflect more.


TENKARA HISTORY:  After 35 years of fly fishing, I met Tenkara and I have never left it.  My first fishing trip was with Daniel Galhardo: unforgettable.
 Every fishing season I choose a “One Fly” and I fish with it all year round.


FAVORITE PLACES TO FISH:  Rivers and Apennine streams in Central Italy, places very similar to the Japanese rivers where tenkara was born.


Picture
FAVORITE FLY:
Hook: grub #12/14
Thread: Red 3/0
Body: Brown pheasant tail fibers 
Hackles: Hen feather
Head: Red thread with epoxy uv


FAVORITE ROD:  Sato (Tenkara Usa)…but I still have to try the new Satoki….

FAVORITE FISH:  Fario Trout (Salmo Trutta Fario) "Brown Trout"

FAVORITE BOOKS:
 -“Let my people go surfing” by Yvon Chouinard
     He is a great person that I admire and respect and that I hope to meet and get to know one day.

My other favorite book is  - Piero Lumini's “Manuale del costruttore di mosche artificiali” (
the "Artificial fly tyer's manual" ) Sadly, does not seem to be available in English.

FAVORITE QUOTE: 
For many years I have made my own a phrase that Chouinard used for his Company: “LIVE SIMPLY”, which has become my lifestyle and perhaps this is also why I started fishing in Tenkara.

BEST TENKARA ADVICE:
Live Simply & Forever Tenkara!
