Marco is the son of Nino Pagot, who along with his brother Toni formed the Pagot brothers, pioneers of Italian animation.
Porco's name is a nod to Italian animator Marco Pagot, who had collaborated with Miyazaki on Sherlock Hound. In the original The Age of the Flying Boat, Porco was born in Genova, and he has the city emblem of Genova on the vertical stabilizer of his aircraft. There is only one remaining photo of Porco as a human, posted on the wall in Hotel Adriano, as if indicating someone's wish that the curse will be eventually lifted, and he'll become human again. He put a curse on himself and became a "pig" after the war ended. Marco was the lone survivor, and would carry that guilt for many years to come. Immediately after the ceremony, Marco, Bellini, and the rest of their unit were called into battle against the Austrian Air Force. As the war dragged on, Marco attended the wedding of friend Bellini to Gina. Marco sees the fleet of planes and their ghostly occupants.ĭuring World War I, Marco became an ace fighter during his stint as captain for the Italian Air Force. After flying up to a high enough altitude, the wind blew Gina's dress up, embarrassing the two. After drifting through the water the plane took off, and the pair were mesmerized. She fondly recalls flying on Marco's plane with the word "Adriano" on the side. There are lots of cartoonish airplane dogfights in this film, as well as machine gun fights, grenades, and explosions. In 1912, his friend Gina established a "Flying Club" with Marco and their friends. In the Depression Era of the late '20s, Porco lives freely "for his pride, for his fortune, and for his lover." History They call him "Porco Rosso" out of respect. The air pirates fear this valiant fighter and his bright crimson seaplane, a Savoia S.21 prototype seaplane. Porco Rosso is a bounty hunter of air pirates (flying pirates) who attack ships in the Adriatic Sea. Porco Rosso isnt like other Miyazaki movies. 
The fights are fast and realistic, and the simple journeys have a sense of joy to them, for both Porco and the viewer. He is 36 years old during the events of the film. Each plane Porcos, the sea pirates, the fighter biplanes in flashback scenes is animated with care and individuality in mind. It's the freewheeling lifestyle of a middle-aged dandy. When he doesn't have any work, he spends his days in his limestone cave on a desert island, smoking French Gitane cigarettes and sipping wine as he reads magazines or the papers. Wearing black sunglasses, a handlebar mustache, and a white scarf around his neck, Porco is a dashing man of action in spit of his paunch.
