Generali Tower - Shopping Centre (Podium Interior - lower ground floor)
Initially based in Rome, Marco oversaw the Napoli-Afragola High Speed Train Station before relocating to London in 2013. He has since worked across many large-scale infrastructure, transportation, cultural, hospitality, and high-rise towers projects, specialising in façade, landscape, and interior design. Currently he focuses primarily on competitions and early-stage concept design.
Marco prioritises functionality, sustainability, and buildability in design and views site constraints as opportunities for designers to create solutions that respond to social and environmental needs.

Culture
Located on a narrow strait, separating continental Italy from Sicily, the Regium Waterfront marks the city of Reggio Calabria as a Mediterranean cultural capital. Drawing inspiration from the radial symmetry of the starfish, the structure, housing museum and performing arts centre, stands as a beacon visible from land and sea.
