As long as you speak the language, it's fine by me. Once you stop speaking Italian at home (in this example) it's over, you can't call yourself Italian anymore.

According to the Codex Wiesonius.

    You joke but that's what I'm been told by Italians from Italy. If your name is Angela Spaghetti but you cannot speak a single word in Italian, you're not considered Italian, maybe Italian American at best (which just means you're American to Italian eyes).
