    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.

    • @alessandrom7181

      In Italy it comes from the hypocorism of names like BarTOLOMEO and Tommaso. Tuscany had nothing to do with Greece.

    • @scully8950
      @scully8950 Před rokem +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).
