About Marco Donadoni
- Marco Alberto Donadoni (born in Milan, 8 November 1951) is an Italian game designer.
- He designed his first, self-produced wargame, Iliad, in 1977; he then joined the Italian company International Team (IT), that at the time was mainly a jigsaw puzzle producer.
- IT published Iliad and changed its core business, focusing on the wargame market, with Donadoni being its main game designer.
- Between the late 1970s and the early 1980s, Donadoni created a number of games for IT, some of which, like Zargo's Lords and Kroll & Prumni, were very successful and largely contributed to popularize wargaming in Italy and other European countries, such as France.
- Angelo Porazzi, designer of Warangel (one of the most popular Italian wargames of recent years) has often cited Donadoni's work as one of his major sources of inspiration.
- Donadoni remained as IT's main game designer until the company went bankrupt in the late 1980s, designing more than a hundred games.
- After that, he collaborated with several other major Italian game companies such as Editrice Piccoli, Editrice Giochi and others.
