It's funny that when many people discuss the contrast between Italian immigration to the US VS Brazil, they treat both like being very homogenous when it comes to the Italian regions they originate from, just switching the regions from the opposite one.
It is said most Italian-Americans have roots from Southern Italy/Sicily, in contrast with Brazil's pred Northern stock.
And while not a wrong assertion, it gives the impression that Brazil received few Terrones, when it's not true.
It's the USA that received few Italian imput outside Northern Italy, not Brazil having received few Southern Italian immigrants.
SP's Italian ancestry is very Northern and Southern, like Aegentina's, not like Espirito Santo and Southern region with it's more homogenous Northern Italic stock.
