Marrone doesn't share the same characteristics as Marchisio, but should be used in a similar role.

Nah they dont have the same characteristics, Marrone is more of a holding mid, better of playing deeper and simple, keep things flowing, he is physical and decent passer who operates in similar zone (not role) as Pirlo (look how often he is very close to Pirlo in this clip, gravitates to his natural zone), getting ball from defenders or keeping it basic and looking for some deep balls to make. Basically how he played vs Roma in this vid. Marchisio is better off playing further up then him, not same box to box player, even if Marrone can occasionally move up with some attacks, he is more comfortable in holding role (while Marchisio more moves up with the ball, Marrone rarely does):
he played , marchisio style the game he gave the assist
in the first game of coppa he played at pirlos place , noone seems to remember that
and he plays at marchisios role because you just can't bench pirlo , but that doesn't mean that is his position

exatly what i am trying to say
Like I said, Marrone has some similar qualities to Marchisio, but doesn't play in the same style. I wouldn't see them as direct replacements for each other, but I think either could play in the same role in the team. The biggest difference being that Marchisio carries possession forward more often and dribbles, while Marrone usually looks to make the pass and keep the ball flowing (which is not to say that he doesn't make runs forward, he often hovers around the edge of the area waiting for anything to fall to him).
