I always had the impression that Italian-Americans mostly trace their roots to Sicily and Campania, along with some from Basilicata. Where I live on the other hand Calabrians and Sicilians seem to predominate, followed by a significant amount that trace their roots to Sardinia. Far fewer Neapolitans. In Europe in general there seems to be a large percentage of Calabrians Where do you live? I am from Philadelphia in the United States, and there are Italians/Italian-Americans from all over. Sicilians, Neapolitans and Campanians, Romans, Venetians, Calabrians, a few Puglians, and I know people from Genoa as well. There are also a lot of Italians/Italian Americans from various places in or near Pittsburgh. But when people first started to emigrate to the United States it was not uncommon for people and their relatives all from a certain village, town, commune, or region all to live around each other in the same town or state in the United States.

I live in Belgium in a former mining area. From the 1960s to the end of the 1970s a lot of guest workers came to Belgium to work in the mines over here, mostly from Italy, Turkey, Greece and Morocco. Most people came from selected areas in their respective country: in Belgium Sicilians and Calabrians from Italy, Riffian Berbers from Morocco, Turks mostly trace their roots to Central Anatolia and the Black Sea Region and Greeks mostly came from the Mani Peninsula in Southern Peloponnese and from Crete. Where I live there are also a fair amount of Sardinians. Sardinians as far as I know didn't really emigrate to the USA in large numbers. From my personal point of view Sardinians are rarely involved in organized crime, but in general they are a very proud people, often fiery, and they like a brawl from time to time
