Club career edit

Born in Bologna, Marenco came through his home-town club's youth ranks, before joining Fiorentina's academy in October 2020.[2][3]

After one season with Fiorentina's under-18 team,[4] on 13 July 2021 he joined Serie C side Viterbese on a season-long loan.[5][6] He made his professional debut for the club on 15 September 2021, coming on as a substitute for Domenico Alberico in a 3–1 home cup win over Turris.[7] He then made his Serie C debut only four days later, starting in a game against Cesena.[8] Having become a regular member of Viterbese's first team throughout the 2021–22 campaign,[9] he joined the club on a permanent basis in the summer of 2022.[10]

Marenco kept featuring regularly during the 2022–23 season, although Viterbese eventually got relegated to Serie D,[3][11] having finished second-to-bottom of their group's league table.[11][12]

On 4 July 2023, Marenco joined Serie C side Ancona on a free transfer, signing a two-year contract with the club.[3][13]
