From Lombardy , the most Northern region of Italy , bordering on Switzerland : probably explains his lighter , non-Italian look and facial structure.
Lol you mean poc and mutt in Murica the dark ones are the fakes Hispanics and Arabs like you probably are, he looked Irish or Hungarian the real Italians from Italy are light but have different faces that’s why he looks different like the mutts forum the Commonwealth who act the whitest and the most Nordic above all the Americanuses because they and you aren’t Europeans but hybrids, mongrels, monstrosity.
The Northerns and the Centrals are Alpine the Southerns are Arabs and Spaniards the ones who the mentally handicapped mongrels of the Muricans “know”.
What a judgment from someone not white like you roftl.

His father wasn’t an immigrant, but he was born in California, to Italian parents, Pietro “Peter” Crenna and Mansuetta G. Vasconi, who were from Province of Varese, Lombardy. Remove that article and passenger record, both wrong

These are clearly not Richard’s maternal grandparents. I can’t identify them. There are Polette/Paoletti Italian families in Utah though.
