I was born in 1952 and my origins are from Veneto and Friuli, more ‘specifically in Villafranca di Verona and Palmanova. If I think of my first memories of youth ‘I see myself always with sling in my hand and a fishing rod. I fished for pike, carp, eels, minnows, depended on the season always with two of my friends and some time was even 40-50 km by bicycle to reach the best places, always with the hope to catch a big fish. I went hunting with my grandfather, Aldo, my dad ‘Pino and my uncle Renzo. This has really taught me everything there is to know about setters and quail, back then just wild.

From an early age I have always pursued the dream of living in nature, live a real life like the American Indians before the arrival of “pale men” live by hunting and fishing and especially to live in freedom ‘out of the box and the normal daily life.

In 1992 I and my family decided to leave Italy to move to Ireland and start a new life adventure. Start your new business’ organizer of hunting and fishing, and not ‘been easy,’ cause I never succumbed to the easy money, I have always pursued seriousness’ and professionalism ‘at the expense of profit.

Today in 2012, with my wife Rita and my two sons Andrea and Alberto still live in our glass house on the shores of Lake Owel.

I am one of the few Italian Professionals who is part of the World Association of Professional Hunters American (IPHA) and also the most ‘sought-after Professional Hunters Association of South Africa (phasa). What could I ask for more ‘?
