Just a note from a mothertongue Italian with a BA in Foreign languages and some Linguistics exams under her belt:
"Italian/Spanish accent" is something that makes very little sense.
Italian and Spanish are two different languages, they are similar but not interchangeable. Italian isn't a dialect nor a regional variant of Spanish.
Lucanis, Teia, Viago and Illario all have good voice actors who are good at acting, but none of them have an italian accent. Judging by the fact that none of them actually can pronounce "Treviso" as it is pronounced in Italian. Treviso is a real city in italy, and the only one who up to now pronounced it as we would here is, actually, Emmrich.
Adding: I like the voice actors, they did well and act greatly, the thing that makes me mad about the Crows in the game is not them or their performance. I'm grumbling about posts on tumblr speaking of phantomatic "italian-spanish accents" and being here like Jack Skellington in Christmas Town.
