Character History[]
Season 2[]
Part 1[]
Marco first met Francesca at a karaoke party Francesca took Violetta to meet Diego. He imitated Francesca's bow and sang Junto a Ti/Next to You with her. He appeared to have a crush on Francesca and went to visit her in Studio 21. He asked her out and when she came to see him, he asked her to be his girlfriend. Francesca was initially reluctant but eventually accepts the offer in the seventh episode. They started dating and Francesca had Marco join Studio On Beat so they can be closer.
Part 2[]
Marco was saddened that Francesca is moving back to Italy, so he, along with Violetta, Camila, Maxi, Broduey and Diego arrange a farewell video and invite Francesca's dad to see it in hopes of convincing him to let Francesca stay in Buenos Aires. The plan failed but worked in a different way since Francesca herself managed to finally convince her father she can live alone while the rest of her family departs for Italy. Just then, Marco's perky ex-girlfriend Ana joins Studio On Beat and Francesca antagonizes her, seeing her as a "rival" over her love for Marco. Marco tries to convince Francesca to get along with her but to no avail. It gets worse when he is forcibly paired up with Ana for Gregorio's assignment. Little does he know that Ana still has feelings for him and is working to sabotage his relationship with Francesca. After Ana "accidentally" kisses Marco on the lips, Marco struggles to hide it from Francesca until he accidentally tells her himself. Francesca breaks up with him for this, so Maxi, Broduey, Andres, and Violetta try to recreate their first meeting by having Violetta trick Francesca into going to the karaoke bar where they first met. Ana secretly sabotages Marco's plan, but her ruse is eventually exposed to the couple and she leaves the Studio so as not to cause more trouble.
