How accurate are ancestry dna tests that claim to determine your ethnic origins? i took one and although my mother's side of the family is all italian (and we still have family in italy), my results showed very little italian ancestry for me. why?

You might have taken a test from an unreputable agency. Look up a nationally recognized agency or ask friends who have one done.
