Could be Portuguese or Italian, my money's on the first option.
I don't know about Portuguese, but since some of my older relatives who are Italian don't speak English, I can tell you definitively that is most likely NOT Italian.
Don't worry, I don't have a drop of Italian in me.
They're just relatives who are distantly related through a chain of marriages that happened after WW2 in my family.
Not that Italians are bad, I love my family, just pointing out that my family is a lot bigger than those who are blood-related.
Damn, I have relatives that still live in Russia and Germany.
