The young Marcello became an expert in two weapons (foil and épée) and was selected several times for the most important post-war competitions, where he was also part of the Italian national youth team. But his true vocation was teaching.
He was involved in training for the World Championships in 1959. On that occasion he wrote the notes that became the basis for the official teaching manual published in 1970 of the Italian Fencing Federation's school (Scuola dello Sport-Fis).
