Getting back to this now that I've had a chance to research a bit more.
I only ever saw her in the original run of the DuckTales cartoon series where there was never any real background given on her - just that her brother had been turned into a raven and that she uses an Eastern European accent of indeterminate origin. To my knowledge, there was never even any mention of a lair on Mt Vesuvius or anything else that might indicate Italian heritage in the cartoon.
I never had any time or resources to actively pursue the comics - chalk it up to life just treating me like shit so much that I never got to do things 'Normal' people do, like actually be able to buy fun things like comics. (I did every great once in a while, but I reserved that for things that had the highest levels of my interest, such as the Cassandra Cain Batgirl.)
So yeah, in my head, Magica has always been Eastern European - probably Romani if I were to seriously go with that characterization and flesh out her background.
