If just y-dna is tested, no. That only tells you about one ancestor out of millions.
If you do autosomal testing then yes, they will appear, yes, if they make up a significant enough portion of your DNA. Most likely it would lead to you plotting north of the Sicilian average (or rather, north of people who do not have recent mainland Italian input).
As I said before in another thread, I do see MENA input in Sicilian phenotypes but if others don't, that is a personal, subjective opinion. What I do insist though is that even if people believe there is NO non-European input in the appearances, they do acknowledge that it is there genetically, and that on average, Sicilian natives are intermediate between other Southern Europeans and West Asians (the same is true for mainland south Italy, the Aegean islands like Crete, etc).
I don't have the ability of differentiating certain looks. For instance, this sort of look, I personally do perceive it as West Asian/Middle Eastern but you might not (I think because you grow up around Sicilians more than I do, you might only see the really extreme ones as looking Middle Eastern):

So the 3 in 1 living DNA doesn't include autosomal test, doesn't it ?

Also in Sicily DON is used for priests. It was used as a noble title until 1800.

Now (in Sardinia) it's used mostly for Priests, in the past it was used also for nobles as Don (in modern era) or Donnu (in the middle ages), from vulgar Latin "Domnus", shortened version of "Dominus" (master, lord, owner). In Spain can be found as Don or Dueño (master, owner).
