Pauly D, also known as DJ Pauly D, is an American television personality and disc jockey. He appeared on the MTV reality series Jersey Shore, along with Deena Nicole Cortese, Sammi Giancola, Vinny Guadagnino, JWoww, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Angelina Pivarnick, Snooki, and Michael Sorrentino.

He was born Paul DelVecchio, and is the son of Donna (DiCarlo) and Paul D. DelVecchio. Pauly has a daughter with Amanda Markert.

Pauly is known for his elaborate hairstyles and his fist-pumping.

Pauly has said (starting around 1:42 at this link):

I’m 100% Italian… My family’s straight from Italy… I take pride in being Italian. I love being Italian. I love the food… I definitely don’t represent all Italians, I only represent myself.

Pauly’s maternal grandfather was named Albert J. DiCarlo, Sr. Albert was Italian, and is listed as possibly having been born in San Marino in one record.

Pauly’s maternal grandmother was Anna Box (the daughter of Salvatore Box and Teresa/Theresa Montaquila). Anna was born in Rhode Island, to Italian parents. Teresa was born in Caserta, Campania, the daughter of Carmino Montaquila and Carmela Lepre.

Various websites have speculated that Pauly is of Portuguese and/or Brazilian ancestry. This is not accurate.

      Well said Christophado!(: I’m full Italian, my grandparents are straight off the boat from Italy. I hate how people who aren’t Italian try to fake it and play as their one. There’s this guy in my school who looks EXTREMELY Mexican but claims he’s Italian. He said he spoke Italian, so I told him how do you say “Everything is good.” and responded with Bellissimo. I was like WTF?! Lol. We’re better because they all know they wished they were Italian. Cazzo tutte le altre razze, gli italiani sono i migliori! :D

      Your family is mixed race from history. You had to leave because Italy is not wealthy and the peasants like your family were told to leave or left because they were so poor seriously you will know this when you ask a relative what your ancestor’s job was when he left Italy. Maybe they worked for my family

    • wtf says:

      So because you speak or googled italian youre not white? Ok pues eres gringo y porque estoy hablando en español no soy gringa tampoco. EUROPEANS ARE WHITE! just because you come to the U.S it dosent change the fact that your background is white! Mine is partialy white as well because i have spanish ancestory being that i am Hispanic. Stop being a fucking tard pendejo.

    it all depends on which part of Italy he comes from. In northern Italy, they are usually blonder, and more south they tend to be darker, so the fact that hes dark doesnt really matter, hes still white (caucasian)

  3. Monica says:

    100% italian!!

  4. Nicole says:

    Sexy Italiano

  5. kayla says:

    italians are not white. idk why people say that

    • Ambra says:

      ummm…..maybe because Italy is part of Europe, meaning they are Caucasians dumb***?? Oh, and in case you didnt know (’cause you obviously failed History and Geography), Caucasians=White! They only reason they are darker is due to mixing with other native cultures, either slaves or conquered. PLEASE educate yourself because this was a really retarded comment lol.

      • ATlantaKid says:

        Hey idiot, guess what all Italians are not white. Man u r a true dumb ass guess what there are blacks who have been born in Italy does that make them white too or are u just that god
        Damn dumb! Thanks! Have a nice day!

        • Amber Berg says:

          Italians are white- if they are not white then what is? You know Christopher Columbus was Italian he was white- now southern Italians are darker like sicilians because they were conquered by the moors, and plus its right next to Africa so there is some mixing going on, but for the most part Italians are white- they are Europeans- they are white

        • Blueblood88 says:

          it is like in the USA they can be born here but they are African-Italians you f**ked yourself with your own comment

      Kayla is an ignorant idiot! Don’t even speak stupid girl you don’t know what your talking about. White doesn’t mean you have to have white skin stupid, white is just short for Caucasian. White ppl have skin tones ranging from pale-tan, but not brown skinned. Race is mostly determined from your facial structure and partially skin color.

      http://racialreality.110mb.com/crowds.html These are a bunch of photos, of southern italian crowds. I seen every photo and only about 20 people don’t look white in various and there is over 200 people in all those photos combined

      http://racialreality.blogspot.com/2004/08/tanned-vs-natural.html How are they not white? when they just got a tan? Idiot.

      I would say about 3-5% of the native Italian population is more mixed race then white, but thats hardly anything.

      Genetic studies on Italians also show low mix with other races.
