==Club career==
===Siena=== Born in Bucharest, Romania Marcone started his professional career at Italian club Siena. He joined the Tuscan team from Esperia in temporary deal on 30 August 2007.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lega-calcio.it/ita/trasferimenti07080.shtml|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071024042249/http://www.lega-calcio.it/ita/trasferimenti07080.shtml|archivedate=24 October 2007|date=24 October 2007|accessdate=19 July 2013|publisher=Lega Calcio|language=Italian|title=Deposito Trasferimenti Calciatori - Stagione Sportiva 2007/2008 Prima fase}}</ref> The deal later turned to definitive deal.

===Vicenza=== In June 2012, the club decided to capitalise his potential market value. Despite no real buyer from Serie A and B clubs nor he could enter the first team immediately, the club used player exchange to give an accounting value to the player, in order to pass the financial benchmark of FIGC. He was swapped with Giulio Cavallari of Vicenza Calcio in co-ownership deal,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.vicenzacalcio.com/news/item/richard-gabriel-marcone-in-biancorosso|title=Richard Gabriel Marcone in biancorosso|date=29 June 2012|accessdate=18 January 2013|publisher=Vicenza Calcio|language=Italian|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130705203402/http://www.vicenzacalcio.com/news/item/richard-gabriel-marcone-in-biancorosso|archive-date=5 July 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref> while Marcone's team-mate Alessandro Iacobucci (keeper), who spent 2011–12 season in South Tyrol, were swapped to Parma along with Pacini and Rossi. Moreover the deal was completed on 29 June 2012, the second last day of 2011–12 financial year, which ended on 30 June. However, his new "market" value to his new club, would be a cost in term of amortization as a kind of intangible asset. Half of Marcone was "valued" €750,000 and Cavallari €768,000, made only €18,000 cash involved.<ref>A.C. Siena S.p.A.

On the next day South Tyrol also signed Matteo Grandi from Cesena. Marcone successfully became the first choice and Grandi as deputy.
===Trapani=== In June 2013, Siena sold Marcone outright to Vicenza as well as Cavallari to Siena from Vicenza outright.
