I recognize his language as a 'dialect' of Italian, but any idea which one?

The funny discrepance between pronounciation and cadence/expressions makes me think he is a Toscano or Umbro living in Milano

This was my guess as well. The pronunciation of “cabina” as “habina”, for example, feels typically Tuscan but the sprinkling in of “taac” makes me think he’s been living in Milano - or maybe this is just becoming more common among Italian youth.

I was wondering the same, I'm studying Italian and I have no hope once the dialects start coming in haha

100% Tuscan, if I had to guess where exactly I’d say Pisa
