: CS1 maint: unfit URL (link)When Michael's paternal great-grandparents arrived in Vancouver from Italy they were known as Bubli ... 'Buble' (that is, without the accent) is Croatian; it is based on the rumour that his father's side of the family originally came from Istria, a town close to the Croatian/Italian border.
He has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide.
My grandparents are second-generation Italians, descending on my mother's side from a town outside Pescara, on the east coast of Italy. My grandpa Mitch Santaga's family came to work in the mines in Alberta, where he grew up as a farm boy in a tiny town called Saunders.
My dad's father Frank was born in Vancouver, and his side of the family is from Dalmatia, originally Italian territory that became part of Yugoslavia after the Second World War.
He has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide.
