Mariani Family:
- The Mariani family name is one known all over Italy in every city and province. All Marianis have some magical abilities in their blood and are known in the wizarding world in Italy, specifically as no muggle has ever seen them around or if they have, have heard of them or seen them under a different name. Even then it's a name passed on from person to person without anyone really knowing whether they really exist or not. The Mariani family is extremely prejudiced against non-magics, because of a couple of incidents, namely centuries ago, when the first Mariani "dad" had some life-threatening experience in his life, claiming that their family rivals tried to poison him and his family - nobody knows the reason for this happening and whether this is true. This first Mariani father came from a family who had no care for the true meaning of being part of and having a family - because in those days, no one had time to appreciate who they were and what they had in life; they've always been a greedy bunch and often took extreme actions in order to get what they wanted. Marianis appear everywhere in the world nowadays, as being Italian also means being connected and related to many different people in several countries, including Greece, New Zealand and America. In the muggle world, they're known under a different name because they like to pretend they are people that they're not - they do not like to settle down in one specific place because once they have what they need they take off immediately. But, the problem comes in when someone tries to target them - making the Mariani family flee the country/city, returning years after the feud. A lot of Marianis do things they regret, partly because they're impulsive and partly because they know the consequences. Many people from the Mariani side of the fam are also known to be violent in their ways and are never content with just one thing, they're ambitious and courageous enough not to rest until they have what they want. These family members are usually the older generations. Although many Marianis are nice and caring people on the exterior, there will always be that prejudice against others (they're a lot more lenient to people from the wizarding world) unless you've proven yourself to the Mariani family that you should not be considered as a threat. They can tell when you are a witch or a wizard and therefore relax when you are around, well only a little! It's a complicated life for those who do marry into the Mariani family - but you get accepted really soon as being one of them because they will love and appreciate you like one of their own. Normally you'll be approved by the parents of the bride or groom to see whether you trust the Mariani family, which never takes long for a lot of people who have to meet the entire (or almost the entire) family. Most Mariani members are still alive to this day however.
