I'm2000 guessing he is Italian. Is that right?

Yes, Don Ameche's father was Sicilian. Don Ameche's mother was a mix, I think, of Irish, Scotch & English. True, Don Ameche's father came from Sicily and his surname was "Amici." In later years, the family anglicized it to "Ameche."

I had read somewhere that Don's last name was originally spelled Amici, but too many people pronounced it A mee see, while the correct pronounciation was A mee chee, so he had it changed for that reason. I'd say definitely Italian, at least on his dad's side of the family.

His father was Italian but I think his mother had some Anglo-Irish ancestry or German ancestry.
