Biography

He graduated in Law in 1897 from the University of Bologna and entered the consular career, following a competition, in 1900. Marescotti was an associate of Prime Minister Sidney Sonnino and was appointed to the Paris Conference. He was Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary in The Hague (February 1920), Sofia (1920 - 1923) and Cairo (March 1923).

In 1939 he was appointed Senator of the Kingdom of Italy. He resigned as Senator on 21 October 1944 following the order of the High Court of Justice for sanctions against fascism.
