      @@jameshudson169 As a first-generation son of Southern Italian parents with relatives in Sicily, there is an explanation. Sicily is an island with a proud culture of its own. However, being an official part of Italy that starts from Rome and down, it falls into the "Southern Italy" area group whose official language is Italian.

    Southern Italy ??? The Isola d'Elba is part of Toscana and is such close to Genova, while "southern Italy" is the part below Roma. So FYI, Piemonte, Valle d'Aosta, Lombardia, Veneto, Friuli, Trentino, Emilia Romagna, Liguria are Northern Italy; Toscana, Umbria, Marche, Abruzzo, Sardegna, Molise and Lazio are Central Italy; Campania, Puglia, Basilicata, Calabria and Sicilia are Southern Italy.

      @scully8950 Рік тому +1

      *NO.* Tomei belongs to the "Tomei family", i.e. Bartolomeo, Tolomeo, Tommaso and Tommaseo. It is a hypocoristic surname, and is very common in Tuscany (in fact the island of Elba is in the Tuscan archipelago) and in Lazio (the region immediately adjacent to Tuscany).
      Marisa Tomei is 2/4 Tuscan (maternal and paternal grandfathers), 1/4 Calabrian (paternal grandmother) and 1/4 Sicilian (maternal grandmother).
