An observer replied: “The ancient Greek word Ariana means silver moonlight.”

After researching her roots, Ariana publicly declares that she is of Italian ancestry. Specifically, it is half Abruzzo and half Sicily. Sicily and Abruzzo are two Italian states in modern Italy. Her parents are from an Italian family.

Deeper research into its roots has shown that it is half North African and half Greek, which still indicates its Italian ancestry.

In ancient times, Sicily – along with large parts of southern Italy – was known as Magna Graecia, a type of Greek province. Colonial settlements coming from the Greek peninsula and the archipelago were numerous, especially along the eastern and southern coasts.

Even today, whole and impressive cities emerge with the relics of the era – just think of Syracuse and Taormina, with their gorgeous Greek theaters, and open-air stages 1,500 and 1,700 years old, respectively.
