He studied at Williams College in Williamstown Massachusetts and graduated from Harvard.

After having lived a long time in New York, he moved to London where he lives with his wife Dawn and their 4 children.

Marchessini began publishing his polemical work in 1997. Modern Myths: And The Realities Behind Them argued against several politically correct beliefs. Women In Trousers was a photo-essay on women's fashion which aroused much controversy when it was published, which received critical coverage in several newspapers. A later book, Scams & Hypocrisies looked at perceived popular myths.

Marchessini has given money to the UK Independence Party, totalling £10,000. Following criticism of his views, he has stated he will no longer give money to UKIP: "There's been such a fuss about what I've given it's a bore.
