I know little of ancestry. Considering my italian family is quite a small one, I'd say it's quite pure.
However my german family has a dutch name, so I can't really comment much. Probably three generations back or something they were dutch.
Duca Robin Leonardo II de Cavrianesi, Duke of Alto Mantovano, Leader of the Mantoan League.
During the age of the Signorie, house Cavrianesi took over the duchy of Mantua. While following in the footsteps of the Gonzagas, the new dinasty seeked protection not only in diplomacy, but also in expansion. In a small-scale cold war between the regional powers, a compromise had been reached: The League of Alto Mantovano. A highly federalized union between the italian states, with Alto Mantovano as a Leader.

I'm just a very lazy student, I'm half German and half Italian, and interested in History. Feel free to PM me if you have anything to say.

Well, my nationality is British (and yes, I am surprised that wasn't on the poll :p ), but since this thread seems de facto to be about ethnicity et al, I'm mostly Hiberno-Cambrian (i.e. Irish and Welsh) with a good helping of Scots (I'm related to Robert Burns on my father's mother's side), various Ancient British and undoubtedly some Scandinavian there somewhere. Possibly some Mediterranean too, but I'm not certain.
