Fishing has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. It is a family passion that has been passed down through generations. I started out fishing with different techniques and targeting a variety of species, but 16 years ago I discovered fly fishing. Since then, it has become the focus of my fishing journey, and today it is the only form of fishing I practice. Over the years, I have explored every aspect of fly fishing: from fly tying and casting techniques to competitions and fishing trips. It is a journey that continues to this day through constant study, practice and learning, with the goal of continuously expanding my skills and being able to confidently approach different environments and fishing situations. I am a member and instructor at Fish and Fly Club Cesate, an IFTA member, and I collaborate with companies in the fly-fishing industry. Through @gimmifly, across the main social media platforms, I share experiences, techniques and fishing trips with a direct and authentic approach, aiming to showcase fly fishing for what it really is: a discipline built on technique, observation, adaptation and, above all, passion. As a guide, my goal is simple: to give my clients a day on the water that leaves them with something valuable, regardless of how many fish they catch. I want to share what I have learned over the years and help those who fish with me improve their skills, while also passing on the curiosity, respect for the environment and enjoyment of being on the water that have always guided my own journey. My philosophy can be summed up in one motto: “Improve the 20% of the causes that bring you 80% of the results.”
