Biography
Born in Rome from parents native of Abruzzo, Marsilio graduated in Philosophy at the Sapienza University of Rome and taught Aesthetics, Museology and Marketing applied to Cultural Heritage at the Link Campus University.
Between the 1980s and the 1990s, Marsilio took part in universitarian movements and joined the youth movement of National Alliance and has elected to the city council of Rome from 1997 to 2008.
At the 2008 election, Marsilio is elected to the Chamber of Deputies with The People of Freedom, leaving the party in 2012 when he took part in the birth of the right-wing party Brothers of Italy led by Giorgia Meloni. Marsilio tried to seek re-election for the Chamber of Deputies at the 2013 election, but failed.
At the 2018 election, Marsilio is elected to the Senate, joining the group of Brothers of Italy.
At the end of the year, Ignazio La Russa advanced Marsilio's candidacy for the office of President of Abruzzo[2]; despite Marsilio was born and raised in Rome, his candidacy gained support from the entire centre-right coalition, and Marsilio emerged as winner at the 2019 regional election.[1]
