This is a very Greek face, in my opinion.



This one looks Albanian.



Apulia is interesting though because there are a lot of them I see that look almost northern influenced, compared to other southerners.

[Ouistreham]

All those people look exactly like the many Portuguese immigrants we have in France. Actually they look much more Portuguese than Spanish (Spaniards have distinctively "sharper" features. Only the girl called "Mietta" could pass right away for Spanish).

BTW you can add a celebrity, Raffaele Sollecito, Foxy Knowxy's ex-boy friend.
(He's from Apulia, his name is typically found on the heel of the Italian boot).





He can be classified as Harry-Potteroid IMHO:

Ettore Bassi and Gianni Verdesca are who look as Spaniards, but the rest have very peculiar features but they don't resemblance with North African

To me they don't look either Spanish or Portuguese, but rather Balkan (Albanian in particular). Not saying they couldn't pass because they could, but that wouldn't have been my first guess for most of them.

There is definitely an overall Eastern element that is detectable to the eye that differentiates them from Iberians. Eastern as in East Med and Dinaric, as well as Alpine strains. This is true for much of the Italian Peninsula, in varying degrees.

I agree. I think the overlap with Iberians in that they're Mediterranean Europeans and share some basic similarities, but I usually can tell looking at someone if they are Iberian or not, and I wouldn't have thought that for most of these people.

I also agree, i have noticed that dinarid element is almost absent in Iberian Peninsula , instead in Apulia it is widespread.
