Career

Club

Defined a bright prospect by AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti, Marzorati, who played for the team's youth academy, was called to join the first team squad during the 2004-05 season. He was sold to Empoli in a co-ownership deal for €750,000 after a successful loan in 2007 (along with Nicola Pozzi, Luca Antonini and Ignazio Abate) and later Empoli fully contracted with the player for €1.5 million. In summer 2009 he joined Cagliari Calcio in another co-ownership deal.

He represented Italy U-20 in the FIFA World Youth Championship 2005.

For most of his career Marzorati's last name had been spelled with two t's, but in early 2007 he announced it was an error and his name is spelled only with one t. However his last name is still officially registered as Marzzorati.

International

He made his International under-21 debut against Luxembourg on December 12, 2006.
