Even in some cases the city that they claim is not anywhere in the north. Even if one grandmother was from the north and three grandparents were from Sicily, they say that they are from the north.
Can someone explain this?

BTW, I have been all over Italy and the southern part is more fun with a nice climate, so I am curious.

You know exactly why.

More of a reason for Sicilians to be proud! That African blood means strength. BTW, he is wrong about the Moors, it was the Moors AND the sub-Saharan Africans.
