Let me guess. The last name is Bruno so...

Haha, no. I just mean, well, look...


He looks more Roman (medieval or modern, not ancient) than corrupt.

And his name sounds Roman to me, too. Smiley

Meh. Upon checking that name is typical for Rome but for other places as well.


Turin and Milan is probably migration-related.

Typically, any Italian surname you see in America is Southern (I know a ton of Brunos).  This is why you don't see many Allighieris, DeMedicis, Sforzas, or Berlusconis in America. Tongue
No, that's because they're not very common names (though Berlusconi is indeed as ultra-Lombard a name as a man).







As to the Sforza's, I suppose you just haven't met any... as the name is neither uncommon nor, er, unsouthern.

Played around to find a highly common, yet highly northern name with political implications. Didn't take long. Cheesy

This hole-digging business is fun. Is there anything I can add to make it deeper [qm]
Repeat after me:

"Yeah. That's what I was saying."
