Classify her and where can she fit?

[alfieb]

(I've heard this song 500 times, so why not make it 501?)

Alpine Med.

Where's she from? Mariangela is a very common Sicilian name (I have more than one friend with this name) but I'm not familiar with her surname.

Mariangela is a very common Sicilian name (I have more than one friend with this name) but I'm not familiar with her surname.

It's Greek. I've seen "Platanidis" and "Platanias" before.

Ok I got more pics of her, and yes she is from Catania

[alfieb]

Opinion unchanged.

[Mark]

slightly dinarized Alpine-Med/east-med + some CM.

S. Italy/Greece to the Levant.

[Sikeliot]

A similar woman from Crete who I have used as an example over the years:

[Volscian]

Med-Alpine

[Sikeliot]

Med-Alpine

Where can she pass to you?

[Óttar]

I Siciliani got some cute raggaze. C'e vero.

[Gustave H]

She's cute. Definitely Southern European. She can pass as Italian, Greek, Spanish, Portuguese, and maybe Armenian as well as a few others.

[Greco-Roman]

Alpino - east med.

[Volscian]

Where can she pass to you?

In the whole South Europe.

[Sikeliot]

She cannot pass as Portuguese.

[Trun]

Alpine Med. She can fit here.

[Sikeliot]

Alpine Med. She can fit here.

That was what I was curious about (if she could pass as Bulgarian). Where else would she fit do you think?

SE Europe mostly, possibly parts of West Asia.

[Damião de Góis]

She cannot pass as Portuguese.

Why not?

[Sikeliot]

Why not?

Too much Alpine.

[Damião de Góis]

Too much Alpine.

I'm not seeing that. I see a mediterranean woman who can pass all over southern europe.
She certainly wouldn't stand out too much here. In America i don't know.

[Tooting Carmen]

East Med-Alpine

[mikeyup]

She cannot pass as Portuguese.

I agree with Alex, she could pass here and wouldn't look "atypical".

You need to visit Portugal, I'm interested in seeing the conclusions you take.

[Faklon]

It's Greek. I've seen "Platanidis" and "Platanias" before.

There is a municipality in Crete with this name(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platanias),name descents from Platanus(Πλάτανος in Greek) tree.

[Sikeliot]

I agree with Alex, she could pass here and wouldn't look "atypical".

She looks distinctively eastern Mediterranean to me, which is why I am surprised.

[Panormus]

what about this woman? Can she pass in Portugal?

Yes, but she doesn't really "look" Portuguese. Still she isn't distinctively East Med like the one I posted.

[aherne]

Looks Middle Eastern (Alpina + EastMed). Could TOTALLY pass as Jewish or Lebanese...

A beautiful fat woman and with gorgeous hair:thumb001:

[SardiniaAtlantis]

Pan-Med, I have a cousin that looks pretty similar to her.
