I can't believe this is a Giuseppe Rossi thread and I barely see mention of his goal. We must buy this kid.
To add to the conversation though, I am born and live in Australia, though my parents were born in Italy.
The way I have been raised is far different to how many "Australians" have been. Obviously the cultural differences - from the food I eat to how I spend my Sunday afternoons - are evident, but also key morals and values are vastly different to others in the country. Even the football teams I follow emphasise the differences.
To say I am Australian is hard to swallow. Although, I know I'm not one hundred percent Italian either. I am labelled an Italian (by others) when it's appropriate for them and Australian at other times.
Personally, I think it's more a mix of your background and the the way you have been brought up, rather than purely where you live.

QFT. I'm considered Italian to everyone in Australia, but whenever I go back to Italy, I'm Australian or "Americano" oddly enough.
