Team Forza Italia

[calgarylen13]

Well there was talk in the Canada vs Switzerland game day thread about the re-located Italians (players with Italian heritage), lets see what sort of a team we can come up with, feel free to add anything you've got:
(i've mostly gone off last names being names i've heard Italians to have before, incase there are any errors)

Ribeiro - Lombardi - Bertuzzi
Gionta - Modano - Amonte
Pandolfo - Peca - Pisani
Tambellini - Ricci - Recchi

Corvo - Campoli
Poti - Mara
Colaiacovo - Scuderi


Luongo
Turco
Di Pietro

Not a bad lineup...Not bad at all

Ribeiro has no Italien Heritage....he is Portugese

CI beleive Camalleneri (sp?) is Italien

 

[quebec2]

Yes Ribeiro isn't italian, Cammalleri surely!

 

[AJ93]

I don't think Gionta is Italian either....maybe Portugese?

Amonte has French (France) Heritage I think, not Italian.

Spezza, Rucchin & DiMaio are Italian.

I thought Luongo was French? I remember I thought he was from an Italian background... But I read or heard awhile ago he was French.

Luongo sounds pure Italian to me, though.

Loungo is of Italian heritage. I seen an interview wiht him before the olympics talking about it.

Luongo's parents are born in Italy I beleive. My father knows Luongos father.
