and Giacomo Zaza in Piazza Dante in Caserta. In 2005, he organised ''Il senso del male'', an exhibition conceived as a reflection on the tense political climate following 9/11 questioning the meaning of evil at Chiostro di S. Agostino in Caserta. In 2012, Marino converted dirartecontemporanea into a virtual gallery where artists were invited to create works specifically in a web-related context. His idea was to propose a new way to experience contemporary art, without geographical and temporal boundaries. The first exhibition was ''Max Coppeta: visioni transitorie. Works 2001.2012''. In 2013, the project was expanded to the ''Independent Web-Pavilion of the Indigenous Tribes of the Amazon Basin'', a tribute to the tribes of native tribes from the Amazon forest still unaffected by Globalisation. This was followed by the ''2nd Independent Web Pavilion: Humanity, Betrayed & Traitors''. In 2016, he created the ''D2.0-box'', an exhibition space where a large screen would enable the audience to meet and discuss online exhibitions. Marino was also a friend and mentor of many artists from the
