type me

I'm from south of Italy, the Naples area. I'm told I could pass for different nationalities, so I'm curious as to how I would be "typed".

Atlanto-Med.

ATLANTO-MEDITERRANID

Tall, straight-nosed and strongly dolichocephalic Mediterranid type, the living equivalent of the skeletal Megalithic type (in the typology of Coon). It is markedly taller and more robust than the Gracile-Mediterranean type, by which it is outnumbered, and with which it is often mixed. The Atlanto-Mediterranid type is an important population element in the Iberian peninsula (prevailing in Catalonia and Valencia), in Italy, and northward along the western European coast, reaching the British Isles in mixed form (cf. North-Atlantid)........

Atlanto Mediterranid + Dinarid with perhaps a hint of CM.

You only posted two pictures, and they aren't of that great quality. Both being black and white and a bit blurry. Post more pictures if you want a better classification. You also need to tell how tall you are, your eye color, and hair color, and your heritage. From these two pictures I'd say Sicily or Greece. I definitely don't think Atlanto Med.

I'm 1.76 m tall, brown curly hair, light brown eyes (turn hazel in light), and as I mentioned I come from Naples, Italy. My mother's family are also born in Naples, as is my father's with the exception of a paternal great-grandfather who was born in Molise (mountainous region in south-east of Italy, closer to Adriatic). My mother's family mostly have darker hair and eyes, and my father's family mostly have dark-colored hair and green or dark blue eyes. Here's a front picture which shows my "natural" coloring, without suntan, pretty well. Does this help to make a better classification?
