Non-native English speakers get their accent in large part from their native language. For instance, French-speakers have difficulty with the "th" sound in English and instead pronounce a zed. The "h" is usually silent in French also, and French-speakers can't aspirate it, so the English "this is the help I need" would be pronounced "Zis is the 'elp I need". In addition, non-native speakers pick up the accent of the English they have learned, so that Italian immigrants in Australia have both Australian and Italian accents. Sometimes, the English accent can affect the non-native speaker's language so that when an Italian-Australian returns home to Italy for a visit, their Italian has an Australian accent.

Being what we might call, "Italian", he spoke what we might call Italian. To English speakers, this would be . . . Italian, not an accent. To fellow "Italians" he would have spoken with no accent, either.
