Marcello Consiglio was born in Rome in 1894 and began playing for Lazio’s reserves in 1910.
A year later he was ready for the first team and started playing regularly as a centre forward. He was part of the team that made it to the national finals in 1913 against Pro Vercelli and again in 1914 against Casale.
He had to interrupt his footballing activity in 1915 because he was called up by the army. He participated in the First World War but came back to Lazio when it was all over. With the Biancocelesti he won many post-war tournaments, but at the end of the 1920-21 season he gave up playing, deciding to take up a managerial position in Lazio.
He died of peritonitis in 1932.
He was a good centre forward despite not being particularly tall. He was powerful, skilful and fast. He played 76 games for Lazio scoring 56 goals.
