Marco began training in Italy at a young age and was invited to study with maestro Fethon Miozzi at the Vaganova Ballet Academy in St. Petersburg, where he graduated in 2021. During his time at the Academy, he performed with the Bolshoi Ballet of Moscow in classics like Coppelia and Sleeping Beauty and earned recognition as "Best Emerging Talent" and "Bronze Medalist" at the Rieti International Ballet Competition in 2019.
In 2021 Marco was awarded a full scholarship to join the Miami City Ballet pre-professional program. During his time in Miami, he has performed many times with Miami City Ballet in renowned productions, such as Jewels and Prodigal Son by George Balanchine, Swan Lake by Alexei Ratmansky, as well as with Miami City Ballet School, where he served as principal dancer in Western Symphony by George Balanchine. In 2022 Marco choreographed Amor Pas de Deux for Miami City Ballet School’s students to benefit Ukraine (set to music by the Ukrainian composer Skorik), and in 2023 Cello Concerto, a new creation (set to music by Vivaldi), was choreographed for a soirée at Teatro Ponchielli (Cremona, Italy).
