Renaissance art, completed undergraduate studies at Princeton. After military service, he
trained as a fine arts conservator at the Uffizi in Florence, as well as in Rome and Zürich. His
first professional practice was in his native city, and he later served as a visiting and consulting conservator to a number of prominent private collectors, including H. H. Thyssen-Bornemisza in Lugano and Norton Simon in Pasadena. Beginning in the early 1970s, he continued his conservation practice, dividing his time between New York and Europe, where, to this day, he serves a diverse clientele of collectors and dealers. He now also partners with his son Matteo, a dealer of European Old Master paintings based in Paris. Marco and his wife Cristina Sanpaolesi Grassi, a pastel artist, have homes in New York and Florence.view less
