Swinton -- KelticNordid
Parenti -- Atlantid/Pontid
Gabbriellini -- Armenoid-Med
Rohrwacher -- Norid
Delbono -- Alpine-CM
Paiato -- Alpine-Dinarid (looks Greek or Albanian)
Fieri -- DinaroMed- CM, doesn't look Italian in that photo but normally she looks like Emanuelle Chriqui a bit.

[Tooting Carmen]

Yes, Guadagnino is from Palermo. Also, I agree that Maria Paiato looks very Greek.

[Sikeliot]

Also, I agree that Maria Paiato looks very Greek.

She looks like a Greek woman who works as a cook with dining services here at my school.

[TheBlondeSalad]

I don't mean to sound too pedantic but Luca Guadagnino is actually half Algerian.

[Tooting Carmen]

Source? Wikipedia doesn't say so, and it is usually very thorough about such facts.

[Sikeliot]

He can still pass for fully Sicilian, just exotic. He doesn't actually look Berber, despite being dark.

Google is your friend. That info is all over the net. Also:

Not sure. He looks a bit off in some pics.

My apologies. I was genuinely unaware of his partial Algerian background. Other than him, do you like the photos and do you want to have a go at classifying?

[Sikeliot]

Not sure. He looks a bit off in some pics.

He's not typical by any means, but I've seen more extreme examples who are not mixed.

[TheBlondeSalad]

Sorry I can't. I'm rubbish at classifying :p

[SobieskisavedEurope]

Interesting looking collection of people!

[Smeagol]

Luca Guadagnino: Eastmediterranid-Arabid.

Tilda Swinton: Mixture of different elements, Overall can be called a Keltic Nordid Type.

Flavio Parenti: Nordatlantid.

Edoardo Gabbriellini: Mediterranid-Arabid.

Alba Rohrwacher: Norid + Balto-Cromagnoid.

Pippo Delbono: Alpinized Southcromagnoid with minor Mediterranid influence.

Maria Paiato: Dinarid-Alpinid.

Diane Fleri: Mediterranoid + Cromagno-Alpinoid, and Dinaroid influence.

[SardiniaAtlantis]

I hated Tilda Swinton in that movie...but I pretty much dislike her in anything.

It's certainly very strange how she was cast in this film - tbh, her phenotype is very pale and extreme even for England never mind Italy.

She was Russian in the film.

[mauro_linguiti]

Luca Guadagnino is Algerian.

Alba Rohrwacher is 50% Italian and 50% German, but she can pass for both.

Diane Fleri has French, Estonian, Vietnamese and Italian ancestries, but she looks pseudo Balkan. She reminds me of a Croatian friend of mine.

Flavio Parenti was born in Paris, but he is apparently fully Italian. His girlfriend is Eleonora Albrecht, an Italian actress of German and Russian descent.

Lol, epic mestizfail. :lol:

[mauro_linguiti]

^^ For Mestizos any African, Asian and Magrebi with an Italian name is 100% Italian.

[Sikeliot]

They still pass.

Not really. He certainly isn't fully Italian, for example: http://ilarge.listal.com/image/4236916/936full-mario-balotelli.jpg

[Peyrol]

Balotelli is still more ''italian'' than a random maghebi landed in Lampedusa 3 years ago.

[Tooting Carmen]

True, although Guadagnino (a) was born in Palermo and (b) has an Italian mother alongside his Algerian mother. Nevertheless, whether he is within the spectrum of native Italian phenotypes is a matter of debate.

[Peyrol]

He don't look maghrebi at all, look in the middle.
Maltese pheraps.

[mauro_linguiti]

She was Russian in the film.

The director casted her as Emma Recchi, the Italian mother of the protagonist.

[Armand_Duval]

Dinaromed.

She has this very unique look, maybe Hasttalt nordis with minor tonder influence.

Atypical faelid.

Maltese pheraps.

Maltese are Sicilian, not intermediate. They are direct (and probably fairly pure) descendants from the western portion of the island.

[MINARDOWICZ]

Agreed. Their results show up as identical to Sicilians. You could throw some in the same and not notice ;).

[Sikeliot]

Parts of Sicily are genetically more similar to Malta than others, but the fact remains.

[Ianus]

Now we try to pass an algerinian as typical Sicilian, we are reall in the wonderland:lol:

They used an algerian even for the Jersey Shore (funny, the same surname of this guy)...

[Sikeliot]

The surname is Sicilian, but I'd argue Vinny looks even more atypical and more Algerian than the man posted in this thread earlier. I don't believe Vinny is full Sicilian no way.

Eyeshape, hairline...weird even fot the darkest place of the island

[Sikeliot]

Yes. Vinny passes in Sicily as someone who just got off the boat from Libya. In fact I have seen Libyans who look more Sicilian and less SSA than him, though they are rare.

[SardiniaAtlantis]

The director casted her as Emma Recchi, the Italian mother of the protagonist.

Emma Recchi e di origine russa, e arrivata da piu di vent’anni in Italia per sposarsi con un italiano borghese.. Credimi io l'ho gia visto sto film 2 volte.

For anyone else trust me in this movie she plays a Russian who married an Italian, I seen this film two times.

[MINARDOWICZ]

Looks SSA influenced. Sicily... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NOOOO way.

[Sikeliot]

He is obviously lying, adopted, or his mom cheated.

[MINARDOWICZ]

He is obviously lying, adopted, or his mom cheated.

Or he is from the "isle of Gorga" ;)

[Ulla]

Alba Rohrwacher is half Italian and German, not full German.

[Tooting Carmen]

Anyway, how'd you classify her and the others?

[Ulla]

Anyway, how'd you classify her and the others?

I'm logging off.

I agree more with this, even if I don't see any Berid in Delbono, and probably very slightly Armenoid in the first one.
