It is an Italian family. "Mary" is the son's middle name!

It's a Reading question, not a Logic question. I immediately looked for a pattern, really didn't pay much attention to the introductory sentence. It is a trick and probably old if the name is Mary. What could be more traditional?
Makes me think of those "simple" arithmetic problems people post on Facebook. Often there is no actual correct answer. Those of us that remember "the Order of Operations" get one or more likely "correct" answers. Everyone else gets an multitude of "nonsense" wrong answers. But with out grouping math operations with parenthesis there is no one way to read it. A few times I could prove with algebra the the incorrect expression is not an equation at all but again nonsense. I'm better with numbers than words (puzzles, quizzes, problems).
