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).
