Veroni, I had the same thought as you. He has such an Italian name, yet not such a typical Italian look. But actually he could pass as a Northern Italian.

VeRoni don’t be an idiot. You have no idea what Italians look like. Here’s a full-blooded Sicilian who looks just as “white” as DiCaprio. http://digilander.libero.it/fotocalciatori/taibi.jpg
