Marco is highly motivated, creative and has strong interpersonal and technical communication skills. He has been working in teams of architects and electrical engineers, ensuring an excellent collaborative and supportive environment.
His long experience with the Soprintendenza – government organisations devoted to the preservation of the artistic, architectural and archaeological heritage – has enabled him to further develop his skills and to handle effectively multiple projects within overlapping deadlines. From 2017 to 2019, he was also advisor to the Communication University of China in Beijing.
