Franco Macri's family (Mauricio Macri's father) has its roots in the Calabria region of Italy, specifically in towns like Polistena and Siderno. His father was born near Roccella Ionica in Calabria, while Franco was born in Rome, but his parents came from that area of southern Italy, from where they emigrated to Argentina. Polistena is known as the family's "homeland" and is a source of local pride due to the Macri family's success in Argentina.

For Macri visiting with his aunt Renata in Polistena, was a very moving moment. Seeing those faces and hearing those stories allowed him to reconnect with a part of himself he thought he'd forgotten.
The experience made Macri feel part of something bigger and allowed him to see how the world works. Macri mentions, If things had been just a little different, I could very well have been born and lived my whole life in Polistena.

…Lombardy (where I am from) and Veneto, and a second one after the second World War mostly from the southern Italian regions.
[…]
Regarding pizza, as an Italian who has been living abroad for almost a quarter of a century I am now appreciating most of all the variants I got to taste in local reputable pizzerias.

You must curse your ancestors, Lombardy is one of the richest regions in Europe (let alone Italy). I understand it suffered badly in the pandemic, I hope it’s recovered since.

And do try Piola for pizza.

More likely the Calabrian Ndrangheta that has supplanted the Sicilian Cosa Nostra

Cosa Nostra is in Sicily and Polistena is in Calabria, so you got the wrong one. Calabria is where my family comes from.

Near Polistena (hehe) you may be related to the Macrí's or the Calcatera's

Stephano has indicated that Italians can distinguish between surnames from Calabria, Sicily or Lombardy..!
