Looks sicilian. Nothing german ethnically and he is catholic, so it doesnt helps.
Family maybe came from germany but i doubt he is german by blood.

I first thought that he maybe has some Jewish ancestry, but it seems that both of his parents were ethnic German Catholics.

I would have guessed him to be Jewish. His family may have been Christian, but I'd assume some of them were Jews who converted.

Do you think he can pass as Italian and Sicilian?

He could pass in many parts of Europe.
