He attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and Milan. Subsequently, at the beginning of the 80s, he joins the new futurism. Lodola combines visual art with other disciplines: literature, music, cinema, design. She soon approaches the use of plastic materials that she shapes and colors with a personal technique through the use of acrylic colors. Later the search for him leads him to try to physically insert the light in his works: the luminous sculptures are born, statues in Plexiglas illuminated internally with luminous tubes, which will characterize all the artistic production. Later Lodola returns to oil painting, reproducing his own sculptures on canvas, often in natural size: the most used theme is that of dance and dancers, the Vespa and pin-ups, in a retro style. He exhibited a light installation in the Italian Pavilion of the 53rd Venice Biennale, and participated in the 54th Venice Biennale with the project curated by Vittorio Sgarbi “Cà Lodola”, and subsequently at the Milan Triennale, in 2009. His works are present in various museums, and he has created sets for films, broadcasts, concerts and events. In particular, he was active in fashion and theater, he created a poster for the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics and for the facade of the Ariston for the 2008 Sanremo festival. He has created works for commercial purposes, has collaborated in the musical field with 883 and Max Pezzali (creating the cover of the album Gli Anni), the Timoria and Omar Pedrini, Ron and Gianluca Grignani. In 2009 he set up the Rock’n’Music Planet in Milan, in collaboration with the municipality, in Piazza del Duomo, with twenty-five sculptures representing as many personalities of contemporary music. He also took care of the scenography of the seventh edition of X Factor, and for the film Ti Presento un Amici by Carlo Vanzina and created a sculpture for the Hilton Hotel group. In July 2016 he sets up the scenography for Andrea Bocelli’s The Theater of Silence, in the hills of Lajatico. In the first months of 2018, Marco Lodola also carried out several LED installations along Corso Matteotti di Pontedera; these works culminate with other works at the PALP in Pontedera. Between 2017 and 2019 he is particularly active in the city of Alessandria, where he creates works to celebrate Giuseppe Borsalino, Napoleone Bonaparte and the battle of Marengo and Umberto Eco.
