He was born in April 1989 in Turin, Italy, and since his early days, Marco has been very enthusiastic about sports and athleticism. Fassinotti was only 11 when he decided to be a professional athlete. His towering 1.92 m (6 ft 3 in) tall height even more convinced him to pursue a career in athletics.

The Italian poleman set a record of 2.29 m leaps during the European Indoor Championships on March 5, 2011, in Paris. Marco contested his first international tournament on July 13, 2008, in Bydgoszcz, Poland. He competed in the World Junior Athletic Championships finals, placing seventh.

Fassinotti temporarily moved to Birmingham, England, in early 2013 to have a better shot at the upcoming competitions. Then in 2014, Fassinotti matched his high of 2.29m jump at the World Indoor Championships in Sopot, Poland, where he ranked in 6th place.
His best-ever career position came in 2017 when he equaled his personal best of 2.29m for the third time in the 2017 Summer Universiade.
