The nickname "Innovari" (meaning innovation or renewal in Latin) has been with me since I came across Syd Mead's prototype car design of the same name in his wonderful book "Sentinel." This work, with its air of "a new era of design"—along with the works of many SF and fantasy illustrators (such as Chris Foss, Peter Elson, Angus McKie, Chris Moore, Jim Burns, and Fred Gambino)—drove me over the years to do my own artwork.
"Fantastic fiction" always had a remarkable weight in my whole personal and professional life. I have been a professional SF author, I edited a fantasy and horror movie magazine, and for ten years have been chief modelmaker in my own special effects company.
In the last decade my creativity has leaned towards computer graphics and 3D illustrations in particular—with which I wanted to create professional artworks for books and magazines. I'm happy to say that in recent years this objective has been fulfilled, with many works sold worldwide to private and corporate clients.
Currently I'm building my worlds in Bologna, Italy, where I share a home with my wife Raffaella and our cats Leeloo and Merlin.

Nicely done!!!! I read the original novel and its sequel when I was 12 and they've stayed with me ever since. The Pal flick was arguably the first modern disaster flick. Certainly the flooding of Manhatten was something audiences had never seen before. The Space Ark was a brilliant design and a marked improvement over Wylie's original design of a squat cylinder. On the other hand-- The names "Bellus" and "Zyra" were never explained and were not as good as the coldly scientific "Bronson Alpha" and "Bronson Beta". Martin Caidin wrote an homage, EXIT EARTH, that carries on in Wylie's spirit, especially in regards to the background politics complicating the effort to save something of humanity.

Over the top cheesy FX, just like in the B-grade movies of old times, but it seems to sell, thanx Mr Spielberg ! ~Cheers~
