Biography
Freelance journalist, entrepreneur, writer, amateur player and semi-professional referee, Marco has centered his life around the beautiful game. Founder of the mCalcio blog in 2007, his life in the world of blogging has grown exponentially since.
Occupying posts as diverse as Soccerlens Editor-in-chief, Del Piero Offside blogrunner, and "It Ain't Over Till the Old Lady Sings" podcast co-host over the years, Marco has been a juventino sfegatato since a very early age. The arrival of Antonio Conte and beginning of a new adventure on JuventiKnows in July 2011 has made him very excited about the future, both in the real and the virtual world.
Marco was born in Germany (ja!), has lived in Paris, France for 10 years and moved to Montreal, Canada in 2000. He's been living among Canucks & French-Canadians ever since. The majority of his family hails from Salerno, Italy.
Marco occupies the role of Editor-in-Chief at JuventiKnows. Every article published on the site is perused by his attentive eyes. He makes necessary edits, researches supporting images, and does occasional PhotoShop work (e.g. here, here and here). He also pens the Play-by-Plays you see in match reports, and helps Mike with Wordpress-related site administration.

As Juventus traveled to fellow Piedmontese side Novara Sunday, the match put two teams at opposite ends of the table face-to-face: the Bianconeri aimed to maintain their 1st place position, the Biancoazzurri clung to remaining hope of survival.

The dreaded day is approaching. With Juventus having their best season since Farsopoli and continuing their intense two-front battle towards silverware, none of us Juventini want to think about any impending sadness. But looming over the horizon is perhaps the biggest grief of them all: Alessandro Del Piero‘s last day in Bianconero. I must admit …
