Scholar of the Arcane
Beyond his creative writing, Marchiori is an independent scholar of the Western Mystery Tradition and Eastern Mysticism. His creative output is heavily influenced by a lifelong immersion in occultism and esoterism, a path he began early in life under the guidance of members of prestigious Orders. This deep knowledge of occult sciences and practices serves as a driving force for his diverse projects, from screenwriting to his latest novels.
A Global Perspective
A seasoned traveler, Marchiori has spent extensive time in cultural hubs such as New York, Los Angeles, London, and Dublin. These international experiences inform his "universal view of traveling" and his ongoing exploration of the human experience—from the search for home to the connection with one's roots.
