Club career
Born in Montegranaro, Province of Fermo, Marche, he moved his first footsteps with his hometown club until the age of 14, when he was noted by FIFA agent Silvio Pagliari who proposed him to Sampdoria, which successively chose to sign the player and include him in their Giovanissimi Nazionali (under-15) squad for the 2003–04 season. He was pivotal in the 2007–08 Sampdoria under-19 double (Campionato Primavera and Coppa Italia Primavera).
On 11 January 2009, he made his first team debut in a Serie A home league game as a second-half substitute against Palermo, a 2–0 loss for the Genoese club. Three months later, exactly on April 26, 2009, he made his first start in a 3–3 draw with Cagliari, with Marilungo scoring two goals, the first ones in his senior career.
On 27 August 2009, Marilungo joined Serie B outfit Lecce on a one-year loan spell. On 12 September 2010, he signed a 5-year contract to stay with Sampdoria, but only four months later, he joined Atalanta in a 4½-year deal for €4.7 million. Sampdoria relegated at the end of 2010–11 season, with Atlanta promoted to Serie A at the same time.
On 17 January 2014, Marilungo was signed by Serie B club A.C. Cesena.
International career
On 8 September 2009, he made his debut with the Italy U-21 team in a game against Luxembourg. He scored 2 goals in 7 appearances with the U-21 team.
Style of play
A diminutive, creative, and versatile player, Marilungo started out as an attacking midfielder, although he is capable of playing in several offensive positions, as a main striker, as a second striker, or as a winger, due to his ability to both score and set up goals; he is mainly known for his great pace, technique, powerful striking ability with his right foot, and eye for goal. Once considered a promising young player, in 2010, he was named one of the 100 best young footballers in the world born after 1989 by Don Balón.
