Padrone-

Yes, I am Northern Italian myself (Veneto) and we settled in New Jersey from Italy. The point I was trying to make was that the MAJORITY of Italian immigrants in LCN cities were from the South, mainly Neopolitan, Sicilian, Calabrian, etc...

I am sorry that I wasn't clear with what I was trying to say, apologies. Also, below a link backing up my claim that a lot of Northern Italian immigrants ended up out west in California.
