Biography
Tokyo will be his sixth Olympics. A goal that very few others share. Marco inherited the passion for shooting from his father Angelo with whom he has also competed together. He certainly does not lack experience, even though in sport, as in life, he is always trying to improve. For this reason, at forty-three, he has not lost the strength to fight for the Olympic medal that has not yet been reached but was only touched on in Athens 2004. In Baku 2015, on the other hand, he took silver at the first attempt in the first edition of European Games. Passionate about the stories of Marvel superheroes, if he hadn't become an athlete he would have made use of his diploma in accountancy.
