Raimondo as Calabrian

I always thought of Justin Raimondo as an Italian-American, nevertheless when I quoted Timothy Stanley  in his just published biography of Pat Buchanan, The Crusader. He identified Raimondo as Hispanic-American and I quoted Stanley with that Raimondo ethnic identification. After a few comments and emails questioning the identification,I contacted Raimondo to get it right. He emails:

For the record, according to Wikipedia, Calabria  is a region in Southern Italy located at the "toe" of the Italian Peninsula. It is the  birthplace of fashion designer Gianni Versace. Pope Telesphorus (2nd-century pope), Pope Anterus (3rd-century pope), Pope Zosimus (5th-century pope), Pope John VII (8th-century pope) and  Pope Zachary (8th-century pope) are from Calabria. Also, Aloysius Lilius (16th-century astronomer who created the Gregorian Calendar)
