Does this Italian woman pass as Greek?

[Sikeliot]

She is from Lucania (Basilicata) and looks Greek to me.

Greek isn't the first thing that comes to mind, but why not?

[Sikeliot]

Where would she pass better?

[Tooting Carmen]

Where would she pass better?

Looks distinctly Italian above all else.

[Ulla]

Looks distinctly Italian above all else.

Sikeliot is right, she is more Southern Italian.

[Sikeliot]

Sikeliot is right, she is more Southern Italian.

So you do or don't see a Greek element in her?

The thing is modern Greeks are heavily Balkanized so she might not look as much Greek as one thinks, but in my mind she does.

[Ulla]

So you do or don't see a Greek element in her?

Something, yes. But I consider a Greek element as part of Southern Italian look.

[Sikeliot]

Something. But I consider a Greek element as part of Southern Italian look.

I think so too. Of course not all Greeks have this look though but I think I actually have it myself.

She looks like this Greek singer (Eleni Chatzidou). I voted for Italian girl passing as typical as I doubt that this one is any kind of atypical regarding Greece. Of course I could be wrong, this is question for Greeks.

As atypical.

[Sikeliot]

Also she looks like Anna Vissi too.

[Sikeliot]

LOL all the Italian users are voting she can't pass at all...

[Faklon]

Also she looks like Anna Vissi too.

Anna Vissi is from Cyprus.

Eleni Chatzidou sounds Pontic.

I don't see that much similarity between the 3 but she would pass as somewhat atypical.

Yes, I did pick atypical, but more of southern Italian look. I assume she is a model, anyway very attractive. I wish I was the photographer!:thumb001:
