I went through the friends lists of three of my cousins in New Jersey and looked up each surname to see which part of Italy they came from. This is what I got, when picking 100 people at random.
Campania: 37
Sicily: 20
Apulia: 13
Calabria: 6
Basilicata: 3
Piedmont: 3
Emilia-Romagna: 3
Lombardia: 3
Lazio: 3
Friuli: 2
Abruzzo: 2
Sardinia: 1
Liguria: 1
Molise: 1
Tuscany: 1
= 100
Of these, 79% are southern Italian surnames. But most are Campanian.
