Norid. Typical northerner.

I don't know Campania enough to be able to comment, but I know people from Salerno and whereabouts are not very different from Calabria, Sicily, and Greek islands.. HOWEVER inland Campania is by some accounts as light pigmented as northern Italy. So if his family is from that region, it's totally possible. Moreover I have not seen enough genetic results from different parts of Campania, I wouldn't be surprised if they plot all over the place.

[Gustave H]

Nordid + Dinarid.

"Vincenzo “Vince” Grella, nato il 5 ottobre 1979 a Melbourne, è un centrocampista di origini italiane (i genitori sono nativi della Toscana e della provincia di Avellino) e pertanto comunitario. "

I guess his father is the one from Campania.

BTW Grella seems to be a Central-Southern Italian and not a Northern Italian.

OK. Of course you find Western and Northern Euro types in the central and southern regions as well.

He's blond but still has an "Italian" look, IMO.

Yes, 100%.

[RMuller]

He can pass for a typical blond Anglo-American surfer dude in California.

[Ctwentysevenj]

Sub nordic. Like the Nervo sisters of Australia, whose parents emigrated from Italy

[Volscian]

Norid.

[Piccolo]

Would this gentleman be considered a good representative of the ancient Italic look, or a North European (Lombard) type?

[Anglojew]

Norid. Legendary Socceroo.
