Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the most famous actors in Hollywood, and his name is synonymous with talent and success in the world of cinema. However, few people know that his family roots are deep in the heart of Italy.
DiCaprio: Italian already from his surname
His surname already suggests an Italian origin, but it is only by examining his family tree that we discover the deep connection with our country. His paternal great-grandparents, Salvatore Di Caprio and Rosina Cassella, were originally from Alife, a small town in the province of Caserta, from which they emigrated at the end of the 19th century in search of new opportunities in the United States. Despite being born and raised in America, Leonardo DiCaprio has always shown great interest in his homeland and has always shown himself to be linked in some way to Italy.
Visits in Italy
Last June he wanted to visit the majestic Palace of Caserta along with his parents, George DiCaprio and Irmelin Indenbirken.
A journey that is not only touristic, but also emotional, to discover his Italian roots. His visit was welcomed with enthusiasm from the local population, who saw in this gesture a sign of affection and gratitude towards the historical and cultural heritage of the place from which his family descends. Italy holds a special place in the heart of the actor, who often chooses our country as a destination for his summer holidays. From Capri to Tuscany, passing through the Amalfi Coast, Di Caprio has been spotted several times in the most suggestive places of the Peninsula, confirming his love for Italian beauty and charm.
His bond with Italy is not only a question of blood, but also of passion for the culture, the food and history of a nation that continues to enchant him.
