A person or people from Calabria in Sicily, whom Italians feel are the stubbornest people in the world.
The old tale goes like this:
Jesus was walking down a road when he came upon a man from Calabria. He asked the man, "Where are you going?", and the man replied "God or no God, I go to Calabria". So Jesus turned him to stone for a day.
The next day Jesus came back, restored the man to his original form and asked the same question, "Where are you going?", and the man replied "God or no God, I go to Calabria". So Jesus turned him to stone for a week.
This went on for a month, a year, 5 years, 10 and then 20 years, all with the same results. Finally Jesus threw his hands in the air and said, "There is no gourd thicker than the skull of a Calabrese" and he allowed him to complete his journey.

An Italian last name derived from the region of Calabria. People with this last name are typically fighters and will defend their honor no matter what. They typically live in the regions of New Jersey and Maryland. They are semi famous around those areas. The name is now given to (been passed down and mixed with different races/ethinicities) people who are like .5% Italian and 99.5% Irish, but they claim the Italian side because everyone knows Italians do it better. Some are a part of the mafia. If you are a Calabrese, you are lucky.
