I was born and raised in Venezuela, and I have a rather unusual Italian last name - on my dad’s side my grandfather was Italian, and my grandmother was Venezuelan of black and French Antilles descent. On my mom’s side they are all from the Canaries Islands, which as you know it’s closer to the North African coast than to Spain, so I don’t rule out the possibility of having at least a few drops of North African blood in the mix.
Growing up I don’t think I never really knew anyone who was 100 % of anything – at least most of the kids that went to school with me were descended from immigrants, same as me, and I didn’t even live in that large a town.
