Interest for this book was huge in Italy and I have been asked many times for an “oral” translation of some pages or extracts of full chapters.
When the publisher accepted to introduce the Italian version into the local market, success was granted: interest for entomology was (and still is) very high in that period and innovative solutions for new patterns matching the real insect were extremely appreciated.
Richards and Swisher proved to be very keen anglers and story tellers and the translation gave me a lot of satisfaction.

I was born in Milan some half a century ago and after many years spent visiting most rivers and lakes of North Italy, I moved to the Centre – not far from Rome – where I found a real paradise as far as flyfishing is concerned.
I have been fishing since the very green years of my life and have switched to flyfishing in 1977. The dry fly is – like most of us – my favorite but I think that a complete flyangler should have a deep knowledge of all the techniques offered by his tackle (given that the “spirit” of fly angling is not denaturalized). Environment improving and respect are also very important to me.
I have fished most European rivers (Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland, England, Ireland, ex-Yugoslavia, Greece, Romania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Far East, New Zealand…). As for Italy, there are few rivers I have not visited
I do not consider fishing as a sport but as a style of life, where respect for the fish and environmental nature is at the top of the activity. While respecting other anglers’ points of view, I support catch&release also in free waters.
I have translated quite a number of flyfishing books into Italian and am fond of history and philosophy.
