how do you know his Italian ancestors are Piedmontese? their surnames sounds rather Venetian
It wasn’t me who tagged him Piedmontese.
his mother’s side is usually described as Polish or Russian (perhaps Jewish?)
At first I didn’t realize he is the guy who played Byron Sully
Rossana is in Piedmont. His mother’s surname is usually ethnically Polish.
