WERTER PACCAGNELLA - A life dedicated to aquarium keeping
I have no doubt in saying that the start-up and development of aquarium keeping in Italy is absolutely inseparable from the memory I have of my husband Werter Paccagnella.
When I met him, he was a keen naturalist, 
busy transforming his ‘love’ into a, then non-existent, business. I helped him ‘invent’, discover and import everything that could be useful for best keeping fish in an aquarium. I helped and supported him in his first attempts at developing and divulging what, we thought, could become a fantastic hobby, thus, widening the possibilities of development to ‘fish lovers’ who were soon to see Werter the person and business as the country’s reference point for the whole sector.

A hobby which, following years of hard work, has given priceless satisfaction to loads of ‘fish lovers’, not to mention professionality and financial reward to thousands of companies all over Italy.
