Marco Valerio Alessandrini
Prostaff Pesca Sportiva
Being out on a fishing boat is one of those experiences that makes me realise just how essential the sea is to me. Without it, everything would feel meaningless… but what would the sea be without the right equipment?

I’ve been going to sea out of pure passion for thirty years, and I practise sport fishing to push myself and test my own limits. I’ve combined my passion for electronics with life at sea, and that challenge is renewed every single day.

Ambassador Pesca Sportiva
I'm Genoese through and through,and I hold a degree in Marine Environmental Sciences. I'm also a journalist and a ski instructor in Cervinia. During the summer, you'll usually find me chasing bluefin tuna, mainly through drifting, spinning and other specialist techniques. If there's one constant in everything I do on the water, it's Furuno.

Martina Marsiglia
Ambassador Pesca Sportiva
Fishing is far more than just a passion for me, it's been the thread running through my life. The sea has taught me patience, respect and the importance of attention to detail. Those are the values I bring to every fishing technique I use and every project I take on.
Paolo Baldieri
Ambassador Pesca Sportiva
I’ve been fishing since I was five years old, and I bought my first boat when I was 21. I enjoy practising almost every type of fishing technique. Once I’ve mastered a method, I like to challenge myself by trying new approaches and exploring different ways to target fish.
Donato Chilla

The sea, boating and sport fishing are my passion. A passion that has taken me to sail in some truly remarkable places and has brought me dream catches that earned me several medals, a place in the national team, and a world championship title!
