I’m part Italian too. Most of my family from my Dad’s side hails from Naples. But don;t worry, we’re a friendly family. We’re so friendly we make you an offer you cant refuse if you cross us ;)
I haven’t got Italian ancestry but my first son does. His Nonno was a lawyer for the mafia, in Rome. He was also thrown in jail during the great temporary corruption purge in the 90s. I was kind of surprised how much the stereotypes from the media rang true in strange ways. But the food. Oh, the food.
