Well I'd say he's Irano-Afghan , it's also happened to him to discover his jewish roots:

The allure of Sabbatai Zevi


Toward the end of the interview, I quote for Saviano a line he wrote in his blog three years ago: "I have Jewish origins." For the first time in our conversation, Saviano sounds perplexed.



"I wrote that?" he asks, and laughs. "Yes, on my mother's side, I did some research and discovered that she has Sephardic roots. My grandfather taught me about Judaism, taught me Torah. I was very intrigued by Sabbatai Zevi, I was very interested in the Jewish anarchist movement. That's the environment I grew up in, but I never wanted to publicize it. That's the last thing I need. In Italy, it will seem like something esoteric, it was a slip of the pen."


You received a Jewish education?



"Yes, I was raised on that. I was brought up on Jewish stories. Primo Levi - not the public figure, but Primo Levi as a counselor - is the man who comforted me in the most difficult moments. In 'The Drowned and the Saved' he relates that in Auschwitz many people dreamt they were returning home, sitting down to eat and at the table they tell what happened to them and as they are describing their experiences, they see the faces of the diners turn skeptical, as if they are saying to themselves, well, really, these things can't be real. I swear to you that many times I dream that I'm going to deliver a lecture, to present the book, and people won't believe it. My nightmare is of me talking and talking, and people saying: 'No, no, it can't be, it's not reasonable, such things can't happen."

He looks Jewish indeed. Now it is clear why...

One of my superiors look almost identically to him but I hadn't have yet the balls to tell him.

I knew there was something weird about his look.
You can find some dark neapolitans in the european range but his phenotype is too extreme.

Anyway Irano-afghan dinaricized.
