Answer 3

From Wiki it appears that tomatoes did not originate in Italy in any way, shape or form.  That is not to say that someone in Italy hasn't done a hybrid.

The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a plant in the Solanaceae or nightshade family, as are its close cousins tobacco, chili peppers, potato, and eggplant. The tomato is native to Central, South, and southern North America from Mexico to Argentina.
