How can I be Italian if my last name is Hayden? I'm 5/8th's Italian (1/2 from my mother and 1/8th from my father who came from Annarosa Asprea, my great-grandmother), 1/4 Irish (Mallory/Moore), 1/16th Muckleshoot Native American and 1/16th English, which is where the "Hayden" comes from. For my information, see my genealogy site. My mother's maiden name is Giuseppina Benenati. I am named after my grandfather Giuseppe, who died in late 1995. Italian was my first language. I was raised partly in Europe and spent a great deal of time as a child with my Italian relatives in Calabria. I have kept in contact with my extensive family there over the years and visit Calabria regularly. In fact, my little brother, Italo, was born in Sardinia, Italy and my little sister, who was born exactly one year later, was conceived there! See my pages of various trips to Italy on my genealogy site. Garlic, tomatoes, oregano -- an inseparable part of me. Just don't tell my Mom I don't eat veal, pork, beef, eggplant, peppers or zucchini! Some of my Italo-American community activities:
