Biography:
Born second to his elder brother, not that it mattered when he was born, it didn't matter much to his father. Lord Zetti already had his heir, he didn't really need Marcello, and made that clear from the moment his second son was born.
Of course like any son craving attention, Marcello always acted out. Causing trouble wherever he went, making a scene at all social events, much to his father's displeasure, and almost finding himself removed from school each year, if it hadn't been for his title, or his family's title.
If it hadn't been for his mother's love and attention Marcello would have surely starved of it. She could always tell that his behaviour wasn't out of malice or anything of the sort, it wasn't exactly a secret that her husband had his favorite.
When he reached his teenage years Marcello finally realised his place in the family, he was never meant to lead it, but instead, protect it. His methods of doing so weren't always so favourable though.
If someone were to speak ill of his family, look at one of his siblings in an unsavoury way or even attempt to say something nice about any from the Destra side, it was sure to cause a reaction from Marcello, which usually meant fists being raised and words being shouted.
When his father passed Marcello honestly struggled with his feelings, or lack of. He had never been close to the man he saw at the dining table each night, and breakfast table each morning, learning, or simply being forced to not feel much when he died. That didn't mean he wasn't there for the rest of his family in their time of need.
After the death of Lord Zetti, Marcello came to find that there was no longer anyone holding him back. He went completely off the rails, getting into more fights, causing more arguments, and sparking more mayhem than he knew how to deal with.
He started mixing way more with the locals, once sticking to just his family friends, he began to venture out, causing problems for people who had never laid eyes on Marcello or his family before, but he in his eyes he was simply having fun.
Then came the late nights, staggering home from some tavern, or stranger's house, knowing that he wouldn't have anyone, aside from his brother's wrath to deal with when he got in, not that he cared much for what his elder brother thought at all.
Then there was the feud. In his eyes his brother wasn't equipped to represent the Zetti's in it. He was too political, too level headed, too much like their dad. So now Marcello finds himself often taking matters into his own hands, stirring the pot, pushing the narrative that his family is a main cause in the whole thing, anything to keep himself entertained, and the Zetti's at the centre of the story, at least in Marcello's mind.
Summary
Marcello was born the second son of the Zetti family, and in his dad's eyes, unimportant. The spare to the heir. Though he was always much closer with his mother anyway.
Knowing he couldn't lead his family, he vowed to protect it. He's overtly protective of his siblings, and will fight and argue with anybody who even gives one of the Zetti's an accidental side eye.
He's a bit of a wild child, always acting out, causing trouble wherever he goes, and getting into fights for no reason at all.
When his father passed he didn't care much at all. They were never close, and Marcello just saw this as an excuse to increase the mayhem.
He fights more, parties more, argues more, and comes home much later than he ever did when his dad was around. Refusing to listen to authority, especially if that meant his eldest sibling.
He now likes to think of himself as the one holding onto his family's place in this whole feud. He will fuel the fire of it whenever he can, and likes to perpetuate an idea that the Zetti's are the real big players in this game.
Other Stuff(Head Canons):
He extremely flirtatious but in no way a romantic. He will flirt, and court someone for days, just for fun, and it almost always leads to a broken hear, once Marcello gets what he wants from the whole thing.
He respects the feud. He despises anybody that resides with the other side, but can respect those who keep the whole thing going. He finds it harder to respect those who can't pick a side though.
Fully believes the rumour that one of his ancestors killed a Galletti, even though he doesn't really know the full story, he likes to pretend he does, always changing the story on how he thinks it happened, and each time it gets more and more theatrical.
Will not speak about his father, the man has been gone some time now, but still whenever someone brings him up Marcello will swiftly change the subject.

Wanted Connections
Bestie: The Schmidt to his Nick, The Chandler to his Joey, The LeFou to his Gaston, The Scott to his Stiles. The person who keeps him SORT of grounded, but is always down to join him in his messiness.,
Rival with a twist: Maybe someone from a rival house who he's secretely digging, he takes the feud very seriously but he can't help fall for every pretty face that passes by, even if he isn't a fan of the person attached to it.,
Rival Rival: Loathing. Unadulterated LOATHING. Works best for a rival house, but I don't mind, lowkey obviously someone he hates should never be close enough to interact but arguing with said person just gives Marcello a RUSH.,
Flings. He isn't exactly romantic romantic, but he likes to flirt, and obviously flriting leads to more, but he isn't the nicest of guys, usually leaving the other person high and dry, having never stayed commited in any sort of relationship or one night stand. Always the first to leave, and maybe there's someone who he wishes he had stayed for?
