so Argentinian athletes with Italian names is nothing new
off the top...Sabatini in tennis, Caniggia, Simeone, Sensini, Zanetti in futbol. Shit, Messi. That's why there are similarities in their approaches to the game (being 'comedianti', mainly).
they've also had a lot of Basques over the years (Burruchaga, Goicoechea)
