I wouldn't say I'm fascinated by any country. I'd say maybe Italy is the most interesting though, because it has a lot of history, old buildings and art.
No. I don't know of any Italian ancestry. I have had a DNA ancestry test done though, and while it's difficult to say how accurate such tests are, the results don't indicate any Italian ancestry either. The closest thing is '0.2% Broadly Southern European'. https://i.imgur.com/XPIBgoT.png
Ireland, yes.
