Mario Balotelli with Holly Henderson

I'm wondering how the hell does a black dude have an italian name. I think it's pretty rare for blacks to have italian surnames.

It's probably the same way I have an anglo-saxon/english name, including many other blacks.
 
I had the same doubts, but I got this from wikipedia

Mario Balotelli was born in Palermo, Sicily, to Ghanaian immigrants Thomas and Rose Barwuah. The family moved to Bagnolo Mella in the province of Brescia, Lombardy, shortly after he was born.[6] As an infant, he had life-threatening complications with his intestines which led to a series of operations, although his condition had improved by 1992. Mario's health problems and the family's cramped living conditions meant the Barwuahs decided to ask for the help of social services who recommended that he be fostered.[6] In 1993, the Barwuah family agreed to entrust the three-year-old boy to Francesco and Silvia Balotelli,[6] with the legal move formalized by the Court of Brescia.

Wiki left out the part where Balotelli for some reason is pissed at his natural parents for giving him up for adoption despite the fact they left him in as good hands as a kid would hope to be left in.
