Marco Lupis Macedonio Palermo di Santa Margherita (Rome, Italy, 1960), is an Italian journalist and photojournalist.

Born from an historical family from South of Italy, he is the son of the 34th marquis Lupis Macedonio Palermo of Princes of Santa Margherita, don Giovanni IV, and the 12th duchess of San Donato , the late donna Marina Lèbano Pacelli del Mercato di Leo Sanseverino. In 2003, after her mother's death, he became the 13th Duke of San Donato[1]. He began a career in journalism after a university degree in Modern Literature, specialising in Art History [2]in Lausanne (Switzerland), where his family used to live. He worked for more than 5 years as a foreign correspondent in the Far East, based in Hong Kong[3]. He works for the most popular Italian magazines and newspapers, Panorama, Il Tempo, Corriere della Sera, L'Espresso, la Repubblica, and for the Italian State Television RAI (broadcasted in Mixer and Format, and in the main news Tg2 and Tg3)[4]. He also works for the Italian all-news channel, Rainews24 [5] and is a correspondent for the Telegiornale della Radiotelevisione svizzera di lingua italiana, RTSI[6].

With more than 20 years and 700 articles, he has described most of the historical changes in the last decades, mainly focusing on the Far East and Latin America. [7]

As a photojournalist, he has mainly published his pictures in the Italian weekly magazines Sette, Io Donna (with the Corriere della Sera), and il Venerdì and D La Repubblica delle Donne with La Repubblica[8].

As a result of his job he has visited more than 140 countries, including Antarctica while working with a Russian scientific expedition in 2001[9].
