Italy was invaded by the goths so many Italians have Germanic ancestry
Stephanie Germanotta (known as Lady Gaga) shows this. Her surname basically means German. Interestingly, her first name is Greek and would be Corona in Latin/Italian.
But back to Madonna Ciccone.
Ciccone means Big Cicco and Cicco is a short form of Francisco. The name Francisco comes from the ethnic name Frank. The Franks or Ferengi were a Gothic tribe who mostly ruled Northern France and the Lowlands of western Germany.
That explains why Madonna might look German, but Asian?
U5 is an MtDNA haplogroup that is reasonably common in Germany, but is most common in the northern parts of Scandinavia where the nomadic Lapp/Sami reindeer herders live. Their culture is more related to the people further east, in the northern part of Siberia all the way to the Bering Sea. So it is no surprise to find that many Germans, especially women, look more and more Asian as they age. My German mother looked very much the the women of the Baltic region of Germany and Poland when she was younger, but became so Asian looking with age that I sometimes saw elderly Chinese women in Vancouver as doppelgangers of her.
We are all of us, more mixed than we realize. Especially those with European ancestry, because that land was covered in several kilometers of ice 12,000 years ago and nobody lived there. Migrants moved in from Central Asia and some from the Middle East.
