no, I think they all tried to sound Sicilian. It's very easy to imitate the accent. I can do it!
Gastone Moschin, playing Fanucci, for example was from Veneto (the region of Venice, up in the North), but he sounded Neapolitan -- in fact, if I remember well Fanucci was Neapolitan. Anyway, Moschin did not sound Venetian, even though his natural voice definitely has a Nordish accent.
Originally posted by AlNeri: also, i wondered, when young vito talks to senior roberto, he asks him whether he's sicilian. wouldn't he know by the way he speaks, that he's calabrese? [/QB]
OMG, you're more meticulous than I!!!
Consider that Vito left Italy at a very young age, maybe he was not familiar anymore with Italian accents.....
