As usual it's turning into an anthrotard shitfest.
Already answered about the cultural aspects / mindset / lifestyle. If it's accurate to talk about differences between north and south Italy, since most people aknowldge that differences on multiple levels do exist, we must also bear in mind that Iberia is a rather big territory (twice the size of Italy) and naturally internal differences also do exist.
For example the Andalucian and Mediterranean Spain character is much different from northern and Atlantic regions like Galicia, Asturias, northern Portugal or Basque country. In that respect, there are alot of cultural and lifestyle aspects in southern Spain that are more in line with southern Italy while in northern Iberia are more in line with central/north Italy.
Regarding body frame, I don't think that are huge visible differences on that regard, average height is not much different. Iberians are getting much taller than past generations (I believe that's common to alot of countries due to much higher protein intake) and increasingly obese tough (don't know if that happens in Italy also).
Regarding phenotypical similarities/differences, the most noticeble differences are related to much higher Dinaric influence in Italy while Iberians are more Mediterranic like. But a large percentage of both populations have many similarities and would not look out of place among the other country populations.
