After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, he began his career as a painter and graphic designer and obtained his first prestigious recognition in 1980 with the Lubian prize, awarded by Renato Guttuso. Since 1992 he has been involved in experimental animation cinema; his works arethe result of the combination of different techniques and languages. They are all experimental and halfway between abstract and referential and are soon noticed by critics and selected in important festivals in Italy and abroad (Venice, Rome, Locarno, Montreal, Paris, Zagreb, Casablanca, Shanghai, Beijing, Milan, Naples, Palermo). His animations have been aired multiple times by Blob. In 1994 he created the virtual sets of the L’angelo program for Fininvest. In his creations Carrano made use of the collaboration of composers such as Sylvano Bussotti, Giorgio Bastianelli, Ennio and Andrea Morricone. At the opening of the program, the works of the masters of animation Giulio Gianini and Emanuele Luzzati will be presented, which will be commented by Carrano himself in an ideal bridge between past and present.
