In February 1981 film-maker Steven Spielberg faced a casting problem of otherworldly

dimension. He needed an alien creature believable enough to play a starring role in a movie. It
had to be scary at first meeting, but still be someone children could learn to love. Most of all, it
had to be unquestionably real. After eight months the director found himself looking at an
$800,000 prototype that didn?t come close to combining the qualities he wanted.

created a moving alien for the film-maker?s hit movie close Encounters of the Third Kind.

movie field. Hollywood, too, has heaped praise on the cinema model master, awarding him
three Oscars.
Born in Italy in 1952, Carlo began modeling birds, animals and people in clay while his peers
were making mud pies. At five he was entertaining his younger brother and other children with
an assortment of puppets he made.

His fascination with things mechanical emerged in the bicycle-repair shop his father, Valentino
owned. Carlo started helping about at the age of six ? and kept his father busy answering his
constant question about how things worked. In his spare time Carlo made clay figures, kites and
model planes. He also began painting. As he grew older, he decided to pursue art as a career.
