talian pronunciation (southern dialect/Neapolitan) of the word "Madonna", literally referring to the Virgin Mary (the mother of Christ). Equivalent would be "Holy Smokes".. A phrase to represent surprise, amazement, or down right shock. Could be used in many contexts.
"oh Marone a mi, who let one go?"
"Marone, this guy complains more than Woody Allen..."
"Marone, you yap worse than 6 barbers."

In the Sopranos episode when Paulie visited Tony in the hospital while in a comma. Paulie in shock proclaims "uff Marone, he looks terrible!"

According to Aaron Atsma, on his Theoi Project website, the word means "whitish-grey," an adjective, he says, that's 'used to describe the colour of an ***'s [donkey's] hide. Alternatively the name might simply mean "god of Maroneia."' Maron was 'the Seilen god of Maroneia in Thrake [Thrace], one of the finest wine-producing regions in the ancient world. He was also the charioteer of the god Dionysos. Maron first appears in Homer's Odyssey as a priest of Apollon [Apollo] in Maron[e]ia who presented Odysseus with a batch of his fine wines. Euripides describes him [as] a son of Dionysos and pupil of Seilenos. In late Hellenistic and Roman art he is often confounded with Seilenos, or else represented as one of three elderly gods in the retinue of Dionysos.' So he was a son of Dionysos and Ariadne, or of one of the sons of Dionysos and Ariadne, either Oinopion or Evanthes. As one of the three Seilenoi - the other two being Astraios and Leneus - he would have been a son of the first Seilenos. They 'were elderly rustic spirits ... in the train of the god Dionysos. They were ... the fathers of the tribes of Satyrs and Oreiades (mountain nymphs). 'The Seilenoi were depicted as fat, elderly, white-haired satyrs with horse's tail and ears, and snub nose. They were often covered in fluffy white hair, and sometimes sported a pair of ox horns.' Perhaps Maron, as the 'Whitish-Grey One' was the most fluffy-haired of the three brothers(?). Like your friend, I also like the name Maron, and if it's any consolation, the technical term, at least in Latin and English, for a woman-raping nightmare[-demon] is "incubus," the feminine for which is "succubus." The movie you watched probably just employed some dodgy research (if any at all) in character-naming.

i was wrong, the answerer that talked about marrone is correct. there is no word in Italian, either maron, or moron.
but since in Italian there really is only the meaning in common usage of brown, and the slave meaning is pretty obscure Italian, i bet when all is said and done the first answerer is correct: they are calling someone stupid. these guys are mostly English speaking. It probably started as a joke among them, to make an American word sound Italian, sort of like insulting somebody to their face but by using the Italian accent on it, make somebody think they were saying something in Italian,

Maron or marron has a number of meanings in different languages. It produces the word "maroon" in English. A "maron" or "marron" in French or "marrone" in Italian is a chestnut or the colour of the chestnut. Maroon also means a type of large firework. The French "maron" also has the same meaning as the Spanish "cimarron" - wild, untamed, a runaway slave.
