    She is likely part Jewish. Milano is usually a Jewish surname in Italy.

    Many Italians consider themselves to be non-white

      Many Italians are wrong, unless they actually have non-white ancestry to back that up and not simply Italian ancestry.

      Lol Majority of Italians check “white” on the US Census so you’re wrong. Only a minority of Italian Americans think they’re “not white” because they’re tan lol Sure Southern Europeans can look swarthy, but there are also many pale Southern Europeans. For example, if you take a trip to Italy or watch the Italian football teams game… you’ll see many pale Italians that don’t look that different from other Europeans.
