Marcello Morandini studied at the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera in Milan, where he developed his artistic skills and began working as a design assistant for an industry and as a graphic designer for a professional studio. In 1964 he opened his first graphic studio in Varese, marking the beginning of his professional career. His first solo exhibition took place in Genoa in 1965, curated by Germano Celant. During this period, Morandini began to explore three-dimensional forms, creating works that would be exhibited in important exhibitions in Milan, Frankfurt and Cologne. In 1967 he participated in the "IX Biennale" of San Paolo in Brazil, followed by the "XXXIV International Art Biennale" of Venice in 1968, where a personal room was dedicated to him in the Italian pavilion. 1969 marks a year of international recognition for Morandini, who represents Italian art in Brussels during the "Europalia" events. In 1970 he began a collaboration with the gallery owner Carl Laszlo of Basel, which culminated in the important 1972 exhibition at the Kestnergesellschaft in Hannover.
