How many people can pronounce his name correctly?

ten bucks says it was because they were the only italians on the block in early 17th century virginia! they wanted to try and blend in! they probably got on the boat in england...seeing the vowel at the end of virginia, and thought that they were going home to their ancestral lands! instead they wind up over here!
