I believe Anthony Senter had a relative with the surname Vulpis. Both Italians.

I can think of - using Italian footballers as an example - a few more with surnames not ending in vowels: Cois, Pasqual, Maran, De Laurentiis, Guidolin, Pellissier.....

It is also worth noting that in an effort to assimilate, people from certain countries, like neighbouring Slovenia, will Italianise their surnames. An example would be the forebears of the great Italian footballer, Paolo Maldini. His surname was originally "Maldic".

It is also worth noting that there are huge cultural differences between the North and South of the country and different characteristics in different regions.

There are areas of Italy where it is not uncommon to find people with red hair. There are several footballers with flame roots, including Davide Biondini and Alessandro Gazzi.

Meanwhile, The great Francesco Totti, one of my favourites, has the Roman nose but pale skin and brown hair.
