My name is Marcello, but throughout my life, I've gone by Marc instead. Should I start to only introduce myself as Marcello instead? Also when I do tell people my real name, 9 out of 10 people will still call me Marc, but I thought if I don't even mention the shortened name, then they'll call me that.
Marcello Gandini (born 26 August 1938) is an Italian car designer, known for his work with the automotive design house Gruppo Bertone, including his designs of the Lamborghini Miura, Countach and the Lamborghini Diablo. Gandini, along with noted Italian car designers Giorgetto Giugiaro and Leonardo Fioravanti, were all born in 1938, within months of each other.
Marcello Malpighi (10 March 1628 – 29 November 1694) was an Italian biologist and physician, who is referred to as the "Founder of microscopical anatomy, histology & Father of physiology and embryology". Because Malpighi had a wide knowledge of both plants and animals, he made contributions to the scientific study of both. The Royal Society of London published two volumes of his botanical and zoological works in 1675 and 1679.
This is the name of Rodolfo's best friend/roommate who is a painter and the lover of Musetta in Puccini's Italian opera, "La Boheme". Marcello also inspired the character of Mark Cohen in Jonathan Larson's "Rent".
