@saverioborghese I see what you are saying but Spanish surnames usually end in a conanant and Italian surnames in a vowel. It's not always that way but more often than not.

[MrItaliano1900]

This is the accent of the Italian south, the northern Italians do not speak that way. Italy's north and south are 2 completely different worlds, it is as if they were two different countries. The Americans do not know and believe that Italians are all the same, but the Italians of the north hate the Italians of the south.

@saverioborghese molto probabilmente è di origine spagnola, ma in sud Italia è molto diffuso. Alla fine sono molti i cognomi meridionali che derivano dalla dominazione borbonica secolare postmedioevale :)

Irrera sounds Latino/Spanish and not Italian as surname..
