I was born in
São Paulo,
Brazil. Half of my family has Italian ascendency (from various regions, but mostly from the
North, my great-grandfather was from
Arezzo and my other great-great-grandfather from
Trieste, though his family was from
Veneto, and I have a great-great-grandfather from
Calabria), except for one Spaniard, and the other half came from
Iberia (
Portugal and
Spain). I had more contact with my Italian part of the family and I look more like an Italian than an Iberian, so I'm an
Italian Brazilian (with Italian citizenship).
