Talk:Tony Croatto

message: El cantautor Tony Croatto falleció la madrugada del domingo, sólo horas después de que se celebrara un concierto en honor a su trayectoria artística. Tenía 65 años. 
Croatto, de origen italiano pero radicado por casi cuatro décadas en Puerto Rico, padecía de cáncer en los pulmones y había rehusado recibir tratamiento médico tradicional.
In the text itself says his family is of Croatian origin. Please, don't go behind someone and revert, before reading the text. Kubura (talk) 14:53, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Listen, her father is Tony Croatto.
It wasn't me who gave the info that his father is of Croatian origins. 
For your information, westernmost parts of Croatia were in areas that were after 1918. given to Italy (peninsula of Istria), after the division of Austria-Hungary.
After the Mussolini's fascist became ruling party in Italy, authorities started with violent Italianisation of area. There were fascost laws, that regulated the forced Italianization. Laws, in which "funny Slavic names" (beside others) were forbidden and was ordered to "restore them in original Italian form". (e.g. "Regio decreto legge 10 Gennaio 1926, n. 17: Restituzione in forma italiana dei cognomi delle famiglie della provincia di Trento"). 
Many Croatian surnames were violently Italianized then. Same was with surname Hrvatin (it literally means - Croat). Here's location of that village on fallingrain.com . 
So, I don't understand you. How do you think that she cannot be of Croatian origins? Why do you find that categorization as problem? Kubura (talk) 07:12, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Tony, as much as I respect you, you have it wrong here. "Croatto" means "from Croatia" in Italian, very much as Tedesco means "from Germany". The last name "Alemañy" means "from Germany" in Catalan. It is not an acknowledgment of ethnic origin of the person (by any chance), it is merely an identification of the origin of the last name, very much as Betances' last name can be directly traced from Betanzos in Galicia.  Those are merely facts, pretty much like the fact that Luis Miguel was born in Puerto Rico, but is no more Puerto Rican than I am (BTW, Tony Croatto deserves to be called a Puerto Rican, much more so than him).
