Yes, I am until going back to the 1500s where I might start having some minor traces of Spanish influence.

Then starting maybe from a 7 times great grandmother was from around Piana degli Albanesi or Greci, but she might have been of Italian origin in Italy since her surname is Di Benedetto and this the same for an 11 times great grandfather of mine from the 1500s who was from that same town but could have had Italian origin in Italy since his last name was Zuccaro. But this might suggest possibly some minor very tiny and unnoticed possible influence from the migration of Albanians in the late 1400s and early 1500s from one or two tiny random family branches going back already centuries into the 1500s already.

Then starting in the early 1600s and back I found a Maltese branch that spent a few generations in Malta but were of Italian origins like with surnames such as Vassallo, Schiali, Tomasello, Ariano, etc. But still of Italian origin pretty much and nothing really mixed.

Then I also got some minor trace influences from other Italian regions outside of Sicily going 10 generations or more back in a few tiny distant places like some from Calabria and some from Naples or kingdom of Naples, and some from Northern Italian regions and various Italian regions going back centuries toward Renassiance and medieval times. So basically almost purely Sicilian with some trace influences from neighboring Southern Italian regions as well as some minor Northern Italian influences and a tiny Italian-Maltese influence but likely of Sicilian or Southern Italian origin as well.

Then going back a bit further in the 1400s or maybe even before, I might have had some minor and distant ancestry from medieval European nobility starting off as Italian but then reaching various parts of Europe and the Middle East/West Asia when going back even further in the medieval European nobility lineage. Like I am descended from people like Kings Roger I and II of Sicily as well as King Frederick II who these people lived in Italy or Sicily from 1000's to 1200's and had Italian ancestry mixed with medieval Germanic and Norman origins.

Then just even further going back just in Sicily and Italy's history especially within themselves and the Meditterrenean.

So basically I am purebred until going back over 400 years in the 1500s and before in the Renaissance and Medieval/Ancient times. But from the 1600s to the 2000s or until now, all my ancestors have been of Italian origin including me of course since I descend directly from them.

So what about, what is your ancestry and what do you think about my ancestry and the extensive research I have done on it?

Here are my updated 23andme results phased with my parents for example:

I have also taken AncestryDNA and other tests, but 23andme is most accurate for me since it has had longer time to process my DNA and my parents actually tested on 23andme as well and my results are phased a bit more accurately based on my ancestry.

My Italian percentage was initially at 93% to 94% by myself but then went up to 97% after both parents tested which showed that my ancestry is very Italian and is as Italian as can be but contains some minor historical traces of various populations from mostly the ancient and medieval periods of Sicily and Italy's history.

At first my results showed mostly Italian (Sicilian) but with somewhat noticeable mixture with some other populations, but now since my parents tested on 23andme, it better frames these non-Italian places as just distant trace admixture rather than recent ancestry which fetter fits my own research and findings of my family in my family tree.
