Osvaldo Gilli was born in Lodi in 1948 and even as a child he already had a passion for fishing. This vocation slowly brought him to know the weighbridge to which he devoted himself definitively in 1973, he laid his flies and fished in various Italian and foreign rivers. His wandering gave him the opportunity to test artificial infinitives, to modify them, to make them more effective and to involve other fishermen in his experiences. His passion for construction, in fact, has always fascinated him since the early years and he saw him spend at the terminal even several hours a day. Manuality and imagination distinguish it for some time, but also the desire to give others their own little secrets that make him love by many new and old fly fishermen. Since 1984, the founding date of the club 'Pescatori Mosca Lodi' of which he was one of the founding members, he carries out the task of instructor for the construction of the artificial. He has worked with many magazines in the field of Fly Tying and currently collaborates in the preparation of the online magazine 'Confluenze Magazine'.
