In the late 1980s he co-founded another international comics magazine, La Dolce Vita, which, with Raw magazine, has the distinction of being one of the best designed and most influential series of its time.

By the 1990s Igort's comics were being regularly published in Japan with the publishing house Kodansha. By the early twenty-first century Igort's books were being published in Italy, France, the USA, Canada, Germany, Holland, Spain, Greece, and Portugal. His first translated work in English, 5 Is the Perfect Number, has been nominated for and won numerous international awards, including the Harvey Award in the USA and the Frankfurt Book Fair "Best Graphic Album" award.

Igort still manages to balance a busy and successful cartooning career with his editorial and publishing pursuits. He co-founded the Italian publishing house Coconino Press, one of Europe's best comics publishers.

For Quaderni Ucraini, he has spent two years in Ukraine and Russia. The second and last volume will be about Russia and will be published in France by Futuropolis and in Italy by Mandadori in 2011.
