President Perón is often described as having roots from the Italian region of Sardinia. It’s not clear if this accurate.
President Perón is also sometimes described as having Tehuelche Native American ancestry from his mother’s side. It’s not clear if this ancestry has been documented/verified.
I read about his Sardinian roots too, and it seems like President Perón even mentioned it himself during his lifetime. However, genealogies doesn’t go further that his great-grandfather Tomás, who was from Genova. Maybe his own parents were Sardinian.
Not at all the small amount of Italian he had maternally was from Liguria and not Sardinia.

The Sardinian thing was a myth made by some local journalists (they said “Peron” is after Piras, common Sardinian surname). It seem Peron line is from a Frenchman who moved a little bit to east (from Provence to Liguria):
I googled “juan peron sardinian” and read some articles that showed up, and they were vastly contradictory (not saying they are all credible sources, of course):

“Early investigations suggested that Giovanni Piras, a humble peasant from Mamoiada who immigrated at a very young age to South America at the turn of the century, became none other than Juan Perón.”
