El apellido Manoia me parecía meridional, más por intuición que por conocimiento, lo mismo que la pronunciación italiana del individuo (convertía consonantes sordas en sonoras, de modo que lo que uno le oía era, de hecho, 'ho gabido' en lugar de 'ho capito'), pero su pinta era más de mafioso romano —quiero decir vaticano— que siciliano o calabrés o napolitano.
The surname Manoia sounded southern to me, more by intuition than knowledge, as did the man's accent in Italian (he converted unvoiced consonants into voiced, so that what one heard him say was, in fact, ho gabido instead of ho capita), but he had more the look of a Roman - or, rather, Vatican - mafioso than of a Sicilian or Calabrian or Neapolitan one.
