Alfonso Pacino is Albanian. His family is originally from Kruja, a city in Central Albania. Hundreds of thousands of Albanians left Albania from 1571 - 1912, escaping occupation from the Ottoman Empire. These were largely Albanian Catholics. An approximate figure of those Albanians that left Albania for Italy it thought to be 1.2 million. Pacino's surname in Albania is Pacini. The full name in Albanian is Alfons Pacini.

The Italian government moved to nationalise the ethnic Albanians living in Southern Italy in the regions of Calabria, Puglia, Alexandia, Sicily and Naples from 1621-1913. Therefore, the names of Albanian community living in Southern Italy were changed in order to unite Italy as one. Many family names were added leters such as "O" or even changed althogether to fit Italian national identity scheme. Records in Albania show that in 23 October 1801, 203 Albanians from the region of Pac, Kruje left Albania from the Port of Durres to travel to Southern Italy.

Other famous actors with Albanian origin include Roberto De Nero (Albanian surename Niro), Joe Pesci (Albanian surname Peshki) and many others.

Oh God, this answer is hilarious. I guess when you have no history other than being the armpit of Europe you need to make stuff up. None of those people mentioned are Albanian.
