Angelo Porazzi is the author, illustrator and game designer, creator of the Warangel universe, an independent play and artistic project developed over a period of more than thirty years.
The entire concept of Warangel was born from an original work of traditional illustration: the first boards, handcrafted in acrylic as early as the mid-1980s ’80, still form the visual basis of the game today. In 1996 the project took editorial form with the first publication in installments, quickly reaching thousands of players throughout Italy.

In 2000, Warangel was published in a boxed edition and presented at important industry events, obtaining awards as Best Italian Game and consolidating its diffusion in the national gaming scene. The following year, the project's illustrations gave rise to the Warangel school line produced by Cartiere Pigna, distributed on a large scale throughout Italy.

In 2002, Hasbro Italia distributed the Warangel Card Game, marking a pioneering case in the national landscape: a completely self-produced game, conceived and illustrated by the author himself, distributed by a multinational company in the sector.
The project gains international visibility thanks also to the interest of BoardGameGeek, the leading global platform dedicated to board games, which invites Porazzi to the United States to present Warangel's creative and production model. The game system stands out for its complexity and originality, including over 120 races and 120 hand-illustrated maps, inspired by real-world locations.

Alongside his publishing activity, Porazzi has an intense presence on the Italian trade fair circuit, with continuous participation in major events such as Romics, as well as numerous national events (around 40 per year). His work has been recognized with two Lifetime Achievement Awards (Modena PLAY and Fiere di Padova), also for his ability to use gaming as a tool for intergenerational and educational aggregation, in contexts ranging from entertainment to team building.

In 2013, Warangel Cosplay was born, an evolution of the project that involves performers and artists in the visual reinterpretation of the game's characters, contributing to the brand's diffusion at events and stages throughout Italy.

Author of nine publications dedicated to his creative journey, Porazzi continues to expand the Warangel universe with new publishing and gaming products. In 2026, he published the book celebrating its thirtieth anniversary and launched Warangel Quest, a new card game that integrates illustration, storytelling, and relational dynamics, confirming the project as an experience that combines play, art, and communication.
