With Marcello
site reviews > Solo men > With Marcello
Marcello, the star of With Marcello, is a handsome Italian hunk from the UK who looks hot in suits, jeans or nothing at all - but he favor wearing suits. His dark hair and tan skin accentuate his eyes and give him a rather dramatic look that would stand out in a crowd. His site is on the simple side but does offer both a bio and some thumbs that click to full sized pics. While the tour isn't slick or professional, and lacks organization, it will definitely give you a good idea of what Marcello is like.
The member area of Ask Marcello is extremely simple. There is a very brief site welcome with a link to MORE UPDATES on the right of it and pics and videos listed down the page. At the bottom of the page are links to sections in the tour area, including Marcello's blog. If you want to know the dates the updates were added to the site, the blog is the place to go. This is the place you'll find Marcello taslking a little about his shoots.
If this site gave a score for navigation or site consistancy, With Marcello would not be looking at a very high score. On the other hand, the site is updating pretty regularly as it has grown from 15 videos to 49 in about 7 months. You will find video and pic listings on both the main member page and the More Updates page.
The videos are shown at 320x240 with a bitrate of just over 1000k, and without enlarging, these videos look pretty good, although not quite as sharp as I'd expect for a smaller video with such a high bitrate. This means, unfortunately, that the quality of these vids isn't quite good enough to enlarge to 200%. It's a shame that Marcello didn't make his videos bigger - maybe around 500x400. That would be an excellent compromise for his current movie quality so the videos would be bigger yet not big enough to lose clarity.
Some videos are offered in both full movies and clips. Some are offered only in WMV format while others are offered in both WMV and Quicktime.
In addition to watching Marcello jacking off - and he's got a big, hard cock - there are some interesting and creative things to be found. One video I watched showed him putting on a suit jacking, running his fingers around the lining. He tells us he loves the feeling of the satin linings, then tries on several more suit jackets before wearing on while he brings himself to a creamy climax. We watch him sit and relax at his desk - while removing his suit - and there's a new bondage shoot of Marcello on red sheets, tied with white ropes.
Marcello does talk to us in some of his videos, which is a real plus. If you were half expecting such an italian looking guy to have either an italian or New York type accent, you'll be charmed by his UK accent and pleasant voice.
The photos inside With Marcello are digital stills. They're pretty good amateur quality although not that big. Most are shown at around either 400x600 or 600x800. You can see that the photographer who shot these is not a pro as there are some lighting issues, but otherwise these are interesting and sexy pics that could use a few more closeups. I might like a few more of them, however, as the galleries generally offer between 20 and 35 photos. While they can easily be downloaded, are not offered in a downloadable zip file.
Some of the issues I had with his site last year are still present. The member area offers no welcome, no descriptions of each scene, no blog or journal, no interaction or text from Marcello of any kind. and considering that Marcello runs his own site, it makes no sense that he doesn't include this stuff.
With Marcello delivers on what the tour promises: plenty of Marcello. This italian hunk wears his many suits with style and his english accent is hot. He jacks off in a large variety of locations and has some fun fetish and creative stuff in there as well. The videos and the pics are good amateur quality, and the vids can be downloaded or streamed. The site offers 49 videos with photos in pretty regular updates, although members who want to see the date each shoot was added will have to check the blog. If you'd like to watch a hunky italian man who looks good in a suit stroking his big, hard cock, be sure to check out With Marcello!

It really all depends on how much you like Marcello - he was first seen suiting it up on Menatplay - for the same fee you can get some good content of him and an awful lot else. This site is not bad but it's a long way from good and way overpriced.

i love marcello but holy shit, his site is right out of 1997! whoever designed the tour and the member area shoudl be fired so a real designer can make that gorgeous hunk marcello the site he deserves. he's so hot in his videos and pics and he jacks off wearing suits. and his accent blows me away.

Without a doubt Marcello is a gorgeous Italian hunk of man. Unfortunately his site is more than plain and there's no involvement with him - it's basically just pics and videos. If he had a live chat on the site every week (or even better, twice a week), that would make a big difference for the site for me. We'd be able to talk to Marcello and see him in action. I'd settle for a blog - anything to give us the opportunity to interact with him. But as it is, his site is sort of small and impersonal, although a great place to see amateur-shot content of him.
