Information:
Livio Marinelli is an Italian football referee who has officiated in Serie A, the top tier of Italian football. Born on February 18, 1984, in Tivoli, Italy, Marinelli has gained recognition for his performances in domestic competitions. He started refereeing in the lower leagues of Italian football and gradually worked his way up to Serie A, making his debut in the top flight in 2017.
Marinelli is known for his calm demeanor on the field, his ability to manage high-pressure situations, and his commitment to enforcing the rules of the game fairly. He has officiated in various important matches, including fixtures in both Serie A and the Coppa Italia. As with many top referees, Marinelli has also been involved in international duties and has officiated in UEFA competitions.
While not as internationally renowned as some of his Italian colleagues, such as Daniele Orsato or Gianluca Rocchi, Marinelli has steadily built a reputation for reliability and professionalism in Italy’s top footballing competitions. Like other professional referees, Marinelli’s role is highly scrutinized by both fans and media, especially given the intensity of Serie A matches.
