A pesca con il babbo. Manuale di complicità tra padre e figlio

by Conti, Carlo
A pesca con il babbo. Manuale di complicità tra padre e figlio

A passion shared by father and son, eight philosophical and universal lessons on life. Ironic, tender, and at times adventurous, an autobiographical tale from the pen of one of Italy’s most beloved TV hosts. Father and son spend time together waiting for something to bite. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t, but every experience is an opportunity to spend happy moments together, strengthen the family bond, and learn precious secrets about fishing and life. Like all true passions, Carlo and Matteo’s fishing adventures don’t end when they return home: they continue over time, multiply, and accompany them in their stories and memories, whether they are tranquil sessions on the riverbank or titanic and thrilling feats like the one with King Tuna, amidst the protests of their mother Francesca due to the intense smell of the… trophy. From sharing tips on hooks, lines, and bait, or the best spot to lure prey while respecting the environment and its inhabitants, a profound connection arises, an intimate yet entertaining dialogue, with advice and philosophical reflections on nature, patience, respect for the weakest, the importance of taking responsibility and celebrating success, the value of family and traditions, because the bond between those who love each other is unbreakable. A book about the bond between father and son, inspired by Carlo Conti’s true passion for the sport of fishing, a hobby he inherited from his grandfather and which now, with this book for middle schoolers, is being passed down to a new generation represented by his son Matteo.
