Exactly. The term we use to categorize Italians is "Italian".
I have Sicilian relatives who would debate that.
That goes for pretty much anywhere in Italy
That they wouldn't want to be called Italian, or that that would debate you?
Italians fall into the trap of being from their specific region rather than the country. Somebody from Sicily will say that aren’t Italian they are Sicilian, likewise how someone in Rome is Roman. To everyone else they are all Italian.
Same goes for Germans. On another level: also for Brits or Europeans.
I feel like Germans are either German or Bavarian, and Brits use cities more than regions, but still identify as British to outsiders.
