I'M VALERIO
Most would describe me as a fly fishing nerd with a competitive mind. But there is more to all people than what meets the eye. For many years I worked as a manager in the catering industry, serving 5000 hungry italians every day...
Sometimes you have to make choices to have a better life. For me this was stepping aside and taking a new job closer to my home. This way I was able to go fishing every day after work, and my health and life in general improved a lot.
Now, I have lived in Val D'Aosta - a mountain region near Mont Blanc in Italy for 35 years. I have been a happy angler fishing after work for 25 years.
