Marchetti is Serie A club Cagliari's first-choice goalkeeper.
Indeed, his consistently impressive performances for his club ultimately caught the eye of Italy boss Marcello Lippi.
He made his international debut last year and will be back-up at this summer's tournament.
Marchetti is a 6ft 3in keeper who boasts excellent aerial ability and fine reflexes.
He is considered by some to be a leading contender to succeed current Italy No.1 Gianluigi Buffon, with the Azzurri legend making no secret of his admiration for the 27-year-old.
