He looks more Central European (which he pretty much was, as North Italian) so no, not really.

Yes, but he's actually half Irish.

His mother was born in Ireland, but wasn't ethnically Irish. She was of Scottish and English descent.

I think he could pass in Sicily atypically, but he wouldn't look typical at all.

He's only 1/2 Italian anyway...

Could someone who was half Kurd, half English pass as a Kurd?

He's half North Italian half British. He would not even plot genetically in North Italy :lol: So no, he is quite removed from Sicilian.

It's not like he is even half South Italian.

His father was from North-Central Italy and probably plotted near Tuscans (as opposed to the farthest North Italians)

Marconi probably plotted about halfway between the farthest North Italians and the French

He is almost identical to Putin's earlier photos

Marconi was genetically closer to Germans than to Sicilians.

So then why would a half Brit, half north Italian be like a Sicilian?

Yes but looks more Northern.

He'd easily pass as French.

I think so but he isn't the quintessentially most Sicilian man, passes in other regions of Italy better maybe.
