Maceroni" was the original version of his family name, the variant spelling of Macirone having been adopted by his grandfather to distance himself from an unsavoury relation. Francis opted to resume the original spelling, but is sometimes listed with the variant spelling. [3] Early life [ edit ] Melt the extra butter and mix it with the extra cheese and the breadcrumbs.

Elizabeth Ann Williams-Wynne & bigamous marriage to Elizabeth Ann's younger sister, Bethena Charlotte Williams [1] Born in 1788 the son of Peter Augustus Macirone ( Pietro Bonaventura Augusto Macirone), an Italian merchant and former school teacher living in England, Maceroni was sent in 1803, aged fifteen, to live in Rome with one of his uncles, Giorgio, who was then Post-Master General to Pius VII. [4] On his father's wishes, Maceroni was there apprenticed in the counting-house of the Torlonia banking family. Being clearly unsuited to copying and book-keeping work however, he was soon more usefully employed by Torlonia in dealing with the many English-speaking visitors to Rome, who sought the banker's services. [5] In 1804, in the company of the architect Robert Smirke, who was then conducting a Grand Tour, Maceroni made the journey on foot, and over several days, from Tivoli to Naples, along the mountain paths of the Apennines and passing through Palestrina, Cori, Arpino and Monte Cassino before descending to Capua and Naples; Smirke having taken many sketches of the classical remains that had come across along their route. [6] At the monastery of Monte Cassino, they saw on display a huge thigh-bone purportedly of St. Christopher, but which both Maceroni and Smirke suspected to be that of an elephant or mammoth. [7]

Method

The word "macaroni" is often used synonymously with elbow-shaped macaroni, as it is the variety most often used in macaroni and cheese recipes. [3] In Italy and other countries, the noun maccheroni can refer to straight, tubular, square-ended pasta corta ("short-length pasta") or to long pasta dishes, as in maccheroni alla chitarra and frittata di maccheroni, which are prepared with long pasta like spaghetti.

As is the case with dishes made with other types of pasta, macaroni and cheese is a popular dish and is often made with elbow macaroni. The same dish, known simply as macaroni cheese, is also found in Great Britain, where it originated. [ dubious – discuss] [21] [22] In Great Britain, particularly Scotland, macaroni cheese is a popular filling for pies, often consumed as a takeaway food or at football grounds. [23] A sweet macaroni, known as macaroni pudding, containing milk and sugar (and rather similar to a rice pudding) was also popular with the British during the Victorian era. [24] A popular canned variety is still manufactured by Ambrosia and sold in UK supermarkets. [25] Colonel Francis Maceroni (sometimes known as "Count Maceroni"), born Francis Macirone (1788–1846), was a soldier, diplomat, revolutionary, balloonist (as recorded by Sophie Blanchard), author and inventor.

In Italian, maccheroni refers to elongated pasta, not necessarily in tubular form. [5] This general meaning is still retained outside Rome and in different languages which borrowed the word. The word first appears in English as makerouns in the 1390 The Forme of Cury, which records the earliest recipe for macaroni and cheese. [20] The word later came to be applied to overdressed dandies and was associated with foppish Italian fashions of dress and periwigs, as in the eighteenth-century British song " Yankee Doodle". Maceroni became a Colonel of Cavalry and served as aide de camp to Joachim Murat, the King of Naples during the Napoleonic Wars (later writing his biography) [8] and fought with the Spanish insurgents in 1822-23 during the Trienio Liberal.
