I think Ezequiel Schelotto is the only one. Born and leaved in Argentina for 19 years. Lives in Italy for 1 year.
Angelo Obinze Ogbonna and Mario Barwuah aka Mario Balotelli were actually born in Italy.

To be fair, it needs to be mentioned that Koman Voli was born in Ukraine. His parents moved to Hungary when he was 1 or 2 cause his father got a job as a coach in Szombathely. He is seemingly ready for the Hungarian NT and Koeman (NT coach) should call him up asap. There is a big fuss in Hungary as to whether he'd choose Ukraine or Hungary. Rumors say his father wants him to play for Ukraine although Voli made it clear that it will be his choice and his father will not influence him in his decision. It's safe to say that we haven't had a midfielder of his vision since Detari (maybe some older members remember him, was an extremely talented player with huge mental problems). Although I'd be disappointed if he chose Ukraine, I could not hate him. He was born there, it is totally his choice even though we taught him how to play football.
I apologize for the off-topic; in all honesty I'm kinda fired up. I'm 25 and haven't had a chance to see a half decent Hungarian NT in my life. Hungary used to teach the world how to play this game (Aranycsapat) and we also had a Ballon d'Or winner along with many other magnificent players after their era - then everything went down with the last 30 years being a complete silence. These kids make the whole country believe that one day they will represent our nation at a WC/EC. The talent is obviously there, let's see if they are up for it in the head, too.

Anyone following the Euro u-19 in France?
They young Italians are playing too, but in the opening 2 matches they failed to score a goal. In the last round they're playing the already qualified Spain, but their chances to qualify are slim. From what I could see, there is not a single Juve player in the squad.

I've heard about some of the CRO kids 
Dunno, check the Spanish, English and the French, you might know some of them:

Destro, Albertazzi, Borini, D'Alessandro are the bigger names, but as you well know, players this age rarely see top flight action in Serie A. Personally I think Crescenzi (Roma) and Caldirola (Inter) will also be good players.
Strange to see the lack of goals so far, considering prior to the tournament Destro had 11 goals in 6 games.

Not familiar with most of them.
From England, our own Tom Cruise, Delfouneso and Nouble are the only ones I know.
We have quite a few players on the French team(typically). Sunu and Coquelin are ours. Lyon's Tafer is playing, he's an interesting talent, so is Chelsea's Kakuta.
French team looks decent.
Liverpool's Pacheco and Sergio Canales are the only ones i recognize from the Spanish team.
Two of the Italian kids are owned by Chelsea 
Chelsea signed Vincenzo Camilleri as a 15 year old from Reggina, they flew a helicopter in to take him off the training ground in front of his team mates.
