Marco Silvani is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Neighbours, played by Jesse Rosenfeld. He made his first on-screen appearance on 19 October 2007. Marco began a relationship with a pregnant Carmella Cammeniti, which caused tensions between himself and the baby's father, Oliver Barnes. Marco later asked Carmella to marry him and on the same day, he was injured in a bush fire. Marco died from his injuries shortly after and he departed on-screen on 2 July 2008.
Rosenfeld was cast in the role of Marco Silvani, an "Italian heartthrob". The character of Marco was brought in to "spice up Carmella's love life". A triangle develops between Carmella (Natalie Blair), Oliver Barnes (David Hoflin) and Marco because Carmella is pregnant with Oliver's child. Oliver becomes territorial over Carmella and he grows jealous of Marco. Rosenfeld said "Marco is withholding a secret that could bring into question his motives for dating Carmella."Network Ten describe Marco as "handsome, charming, witty and intelligent". Despite his father being a traditional Italian, Marco is a "modern guy with an open mind". Marco is proud to be running his father's business, but he would rather be running his own restaurant. Ten also say that Marco has alway wanted a family of his own and it has taken him a while to get over his failed marriage to Marissa.
In February 2008, it was announced that Rosenfeld was to leave Neighbours that year, along with co-stars David Hoflin (Oliver Barnes), Daniel O'Connor (Ned Parker) and Sweeney Young (Riley Parker). It was speculated that the departures were linked to the arrival of Susan Bower, who was appointed executive producer at the end of 2007. Rosenfeld filmed his last scenes in April 2008.
