That one is more Alpinid in comparison with
significant Armenid influence, especially lower lip.

This guy is simply fat. This "famous Italian" is very heavily Med and much unlike Mussolini there's nothing CM or Alpinid in him.

This guy is simply fat. This "famous Italian" is very heavily Med and much unlike Mussolini there's nothing CM or Alpinid in him.

He was big guy for his time and in his prime with height of 180 cm and very robust build, later he got fat.

When he was young and fit:

There are traces of both groups but he is more Alpine.

Spot on.

Note that this description can also apply to Silvio Berlusconi, who impersonates (in a less robust version) the same kind of Mediterranized Alpinid with a slight hint of Dinarism.

French rugby player William Servat has a sort of Mussolinian face but he's a sort of 100% Alpinid stereotype, with a lower rooted nose and without the distinctively Dinarid flattened area behind his skull. Compare:

Great photos.

He looks more Dinaricised Med in these.

Notice the sign which calls him Benedetto Mussolini.

Benito is Spanish because his Socialist father named him after the Mexican revolutionary Benito Juarez.

The Duce was certainly brachycephalic.
Benito was more Dinaricised while the others are more in the Alpinid range.

Dinardicized East-Med.

Sikeliot said that the Byzantines settled Armenians there, is it true?

[Sizzo]

Sikeliot said that the Byzantines settled Armenians there, is it true?

In effects, Byzantines, after the Gothic War, recovered the ancient Roman defensive structures, already re-used by the Goths, guarding them with Armenian, Levantine, Germanic or Slavic mining soldiers, to be added to the local militias of the local natives. Anyway I don't think that these soldiers have left a concrete genetic inheritance. Cavalli-Sforza, the genetist, supposed a Greek influence in the area around Ferrara and Ravenna (Romagna).

[olegbeard]

Yet the guy looks clearly Hindu...

First time I'm hearing about Greek influence in Central Italy. Might need some googling.

Well, it's Central-North Italy, along the Adriatic coast. There was an Etruscan influence too. Venice itself was a sort of Byzantine protectorate, while Lombards sprawled into the Po Valley.

[MinervaItalica]

There was Greek influence in North/Central Italy during Byzantine times (not the same as Greek influence of Southern Italy during Magna Graecia ofc) however it was not the only one, there were also Lombards both mixed with local Italics.

[DarkPhoenix]

Alpine + Med.

[Columella]

He seems a Dinaric/Alpine recombination. Face was longer than in an Alpine mean, mandible broad and slab jawed (somewhat approaching Coon's Borreby range)
Face was broad rectangle with rounded edges.
Highly brachycephalic and ipsicephalic.

Dinarid + Borreby.

Dinarid + Borreby.

Agreed

And it's good to know that there's a Greek influence in Northern to Central Italy. You learn something new.

He passes in Northern Italy and the Balkans

Hitler on Mussolini:

I would say Alpine-med.

Not the most attractive man in the world. I see someone MENA in him as well.He was the Poster Boy for Hitler? Jesus. I guess it made Hitler feel better about his own looks.

[Sizzo]

There's nothing MENA in Mussolini's appearance, he was a regular southern European. More likely, the MENA admixture is into the socks who say MENA to him.

[hwotton]

a tragedy for Italy...

alpine-med?

[kingjohn]

middle eastern vibe

genetoically 100% european ...

Borreby+dinarid . It's not an atypical look in my region.
Agree with the tragedy for italy classification

[Principe Azzurro]

Alpine+East Mediterranean, he has some Eastern vibe to him, Il Duce despite being from Emilia Romagna for me looks typical Southern Italian, everyone has a cousin who has similar looks to him.

You see it more when he was younger.

He was from Romagna and that's not a typical Southern Italian look.

he was completely brachycephalic, east-med is dolichocephalic.

I didn't said he was totally EM, but yeah, you are right.

He has facial features that can pass for Southern Italian, and I said he was from Romagna.

[avalez]

alpine

[Mädel Edelweiß]

He has a North African feel to him. I have some Egyptian friends and he looks similar to them, especially when he was young and had hair. I would say VERY Mediterranean with some apline influence.

When you are a fascist leader you receive Dalo-Faelid classifications even if you are an extreme type of Mediterranean able to pass in all the mediterranean basin.

I admit, the Duce has some Taurid and Gracile Mediterranid admixture. However, the Dalofaelid base is primary. He is not very typical for Mediterranean Europe.

Benito Mussolini was a good guy.

Get real, dude. With proper clothing Mussolini could pass even in Egypt (I'm not saying he looks Egyptian, just that he could ''pass'', the same for some other South Euros).

Indeed. I know of a very few Arabs who look identical to him. The Dalofaelid phenotype works it's way into Western Asia, even South Asia, although rare nowadays with centuries of mixing in greater or lesser numbers.

True. I myself was mistaken for an Egyptian Copt when I was in Egypt.

IL Duce is Dinaro Med some Berid

Alpinid-CM with East Med influences, basically a robuster version of this military conscript from Piedmont:

Il Duce had cephalic index of 85,6 (head breadth 16,0 divided by head lenght 18,7).

As for classification, agree with Alpine-Med

[chociprasa]

Funnily enough, Hitler basically classified himself and Mussolini as Alpine:

They know that Benito Mussolini is constructing a colossal empire which will put the Roman Empire in the shade. We shall put up ... for his victories. Mussolini is a typical representative of our Alpine race...

[Thanos]

Mussolini is Alpine-CM or reduced CM, he had a very round facial features, but also had a very strong chin, which is clearly a CM trait.

[Thanos]

Hitler was Alpinised North Atlantid or Subnordid (which is Alpine + Nordid basically), and Mussolini was Alpine-CM. They both indeed had Alpine facial traits.

[Mixdguy17]

Is the shape of the back of his head typical for Alpinids or Dinarids?
