Questo qui è un sock della checca.

they're probably from Northern League

I found out they were just joking after having a few drinks, it wasnt anything serious.

An Abruzzese with light eyes is not a big deal..

Every Italian region have an high percentage of light eyes but italo-americans have this idea that we are all dark and short.

[Tiberio]

Some Sicilians are proud of Arab contributions, others not. Those who are often the most proud of the Normans are those who hate Islam, but not all (alfieb is an exception, he is proud of the Normans but not ashamed of the Arab period).

I never feel any connection to the Normans or to the Crusades until I read about Islamic extremism and then I am kind of thankful.

Sicily is by the most catholic and religious area of Europe.

Light eyes are not uncommon in Sicily, but light hair is.

Sicilians I've met outside the web are usually proud of their Italian, Ancient Greek and Arab heritage, they are conscious of their glorious history.
