He attended the [[Accademia Di Belle Arti, Florence|Accademia di Belle Arti]] in [[Florence]] in 1917. Although he never abandoned [[painting]], Marini devoted himself primarily to sculpture from about 1922. From this time his work was influenced by Etruscan art and the sculpture of [[Arturo Martini]]. Marini succeeded Martini as professor at the Scuola d’Arte di Villa Reale in Monza, near Milan, in 1929, a position he retained until 1940.

In 1936 he moved to Tenero-Locarno, in Ticino Canton, Switzerland; during the following few years the artist often visited Zürich and Basel, where he became a friend of [[Alberto Giacometti]], [[Germaine Richier]], and [[Fritz Wotruba]]. In 1936, he received the Prize of the Quadriennale of Rome. In 1938, he married Mercedes Pedrazzini.<ref name="fondazione">{{cite web |url=http://www.museomarinomarini.it/section.php?page=fondazione |title=Museo Marino Marini - Fondazione - Marino marini |access-date=30 March 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721162355/http://www.museomarinomarini.it/section.php?page=fondazione |archive-date=21 July 2011 }} Fondazione (Italian/needs interpretation) -Accessed 15 April 2011</ref>
