Classify Giuseppe Fiorello

[MINARDOWICZ]

This is an odd looking Sicilian to me! :eek:

What are your thoughts on him? Also, where do you think he could pass?

[Sikeliot]

He has Arabid influence. I think he could pass as a Jordanian, Iraqi, Saudi, and Yemeni to be honest.. although in some pictures he looks more East Med:

[Tooting Carmen]

I hope not to attract yet more hatred and anger when I say this, but (a) he looks pan-Eastern and (b) compare him to Bollywood actor John Abraham:

I think he looks more Arabian than Indian. He looks like the Caucasoid component in Ethiopians.

[MINARDOWICZ]

Bump

[Gaston]

He has Arabid influence.

How so? Arabians did not set foot in Sicily.

[MINARDOWICZ]

How so? Arabians did not set foot in Sicily.

Why the hell did they speak Siculo Arabic? Never heard of the Arab conquest? I'm sick and tired of naysayers... It is ridiculous... DID NOT SET FOOT IN SICILY? Sure... it was mostly Greeks, Berbers, and Anatolians who stepped foot in Sicily that made them look so unique... but there was a true "arab" influence as well... look into it a little.

You don't know what you're talking about. Siculo-Arabic was brought by Arabized Berbers and its modern version, which is Maltese, is very close to Maghrebi arabic dialects, especially Tunisian, which are all spoken by arabized berbers.
No massive wave of Arabian tribes reached Sicily because it was mostly Berbers from nearby Ifriqiya.

[SobieskisavedEurope]

East Med - Arabid - Berid

[Smeagol]

Does not look European, strong Semitic influence.

Ummm but these "berbers" were not just berbers at the time clearly... they were indeed "berber arabs"

Maltese is Romancified Siculo-Arabic written in Latin form.

[Also]

Dusky dinaro-alpine.

They were ethnic Berbers, Arabs only made up the elite. This guy must be a result of Roman era slavery.

[Sikeliot]

Fiorello is one of the least European-looking Sicilians I have seen yet.

[Also]

He looks tanned on the photos the OP posted, on other photos he has a more natural skin tone but still looks exotic.

[Gaston]

The guy looks more MENA than average but doesn't fall outside the spectrum for Sicily.


Ummm but these "berbers" were not just berbers at the time clearly... they were indeed "berber arabs"

They were arabized linguistically. So there is no way anything "arabid" could have come from them.


Maltese is Romancified Siculo-Arabic written in Latin form.

Sure, it's unique and it took its own independant route, but Maghrebi dialects too have high romance influence in them. That wasn't my point though (which was Siculo-Arabic and Maltese are phylogenetically far away from any Arabian or Middle Eastern dialects/languages inside arabic and relatively closer to the Maghreb ones).

[MINARDOWICZ]

BUMP!

[YeshAtid]

From Judea?

[fla88]

I would have guessed dinaro-med . I don't think he fits so bad in Sicily

[Smeagol]

From Judea?

I don't know.

[YeshAtid]

I don't know.

He kinda looks like objectiverealist, but more Euro looking :lol:

Minard once again proves he doesn't know history.:picard1:

True.

[YeshAtid]

True.

Minard thinks anyone who doesn't look like his nonno is false

[Stormer99]

:rolleyes2:

[MINARDOWICZ]

You two are real idiots, you know that? I never said such a thing and I bet you do not even know what he looks like. He had auburn hair and blue eyes btw. Get off my thread you no life trolls, btw. You clearly live in your mom's basement Barberis, because all you do is follow. I've had enough of you and we already had this talk, FUCK OFF!

[MINARDOWICZ]

:rolleyes2:

Ignore them. You shouldn't listen to 2 guys who still get their mommy to wipe their ass after they shit their diapers.

[SardiniaAtlantis]

If he wasnt so tan you guys wouldnt think he looks strange. There are many that look like him.

Don't think he is at least a little unique? He is unique, for sure.

No man not unique... Ive seen many others that remind me of him.

[YeshAtid]

He's well known in the scientific community

[Smeagol]

Yes, he discovered a new species of Beatles.

Have you been to Sicily ?

[YeshAtid]

Have you been?

[SardiniaAtlantis]

Have you been?
Ive met many sicilians outside Sicily in Rome, Sardinia in the US.. you see people that look like him from time to time.

Sicilian Americans here would disagree

[SardiniaAtlantis]

Fine by me... I keep repeating only thing that makes him look weird is he is so dark in the first two pics look at him in the third looks like much more normal.

[DarkoCGO]

i thought he was spanish but he is arab?

[SardiniaAtlantis]

He even resembles Domenico Modugno

I see it.. I just think Fiorello has odd eyes for an Italian. Everything else matches up with this guy./..

[special]

He's famous as shit in Italy (his brother even more) and nobody thinks he's exotic or something. In the first 2 pics he had make up to play the famous singer Domenico Modugno. This is how he looked in his first movie

Fiorello is Sicilian? Wow. I didn't knew that. He looks a bit of mix between, Spanish, North-West African, and maaybe French.
