the writers posted in the begining remind me a lot of same kind of faces on old spanish portraits. I will try to look for them

Anna Kanakis is half Greek, I looked her up. Here's how I'd classify the ones you posted.

Rosario Fiorello - Dinaro-Med
Anna Kanakis - Dinaro-Med
Eleonora Abbagnato - Nordid (looks like Leeann Rimes btw)
Pippo Baudo - Dinaro-Med
Francesca Chillemi - Gracile Med
Salvo Ficarra - Dinaro Med
Angelino Alfano - Alpinid

Do you agree?

In Northern Italy not everyone has light brown hair and not all the Sicilians have a Greek look indeed. It's only prejudges. Sicilians, differently from other Italians, are very mixed. Sicily was settled by Italics, Iberians, Greeks, Carthagianians, then conquered by Romans (central Italians), Byzantine Greeks, Arabs (actually they corresponded to modern Tunisinians), Normans, Frenchs, Spaniards, Northern Italians and in some areas it is spoken a Gaulish Italic language that none is able to explain how it arrived there.

Oh I wasn't saying all northern Italians have lighter features but that was just my impression of those select individuals.
