[Sikeliot]

He could pass. He reminds me of some French people

[MarceloBielsa]

bump

[Hevo]

Yes he can pass in France, also in German lands.

[le penalty]

Yep but not the most common face

[MarceloBielsa]

In fact he is sicilian from Mistretta, norman descend.

[Germaniac]

He could pass as french. Not your typical one, but still.

[Sikeliot]

He looks like a guy who used to post here, GeistFaust, who was German and Irish descent.

[MarceloBielsa]

This guy, which is called Filadelfio Carroccio, has similar features to Philippe Mexes for me lol

[Ira di Dio]

IMO he looks more like a German/Swiss/Austrian cromagnid than French. Or South Tyrolean Manuel Fischnaller.

Another cherrypicked blonde..

[Ulla]

He could pass in Northern Europe, but I guess he is Sicilian. Right?

[Ulla]

Found, Filadelfio Carroccio born in Taormina (Messina, Sicily) on 1992

Yes.
What surprises me isn't that he is Sicilian, but that he is from Messina. I could see him in Palermo more easily.. Messina is an area that looks usually Greek.

[Ulla]

Yep, Greek but also Lombard. Taormina (Messina) is a very important tourist destination since early 1900, so It can attract people and workers from all over the Sicily. And Filadelfio as a given name is a traditional name in San Fratello (in medieval times it's was named San Filadelfio), one of the Lombard town in Sicily. San Fratello, also in Messina province, is close to Taormina.

I have checked through the telephone directory, surname Carroccio is concentrated in San Fratello area. So Filadelfio Carroccio is probably a descendant of Lombards of Sicily.

[Sikeliot]

I would wonder how much Lombard ancestry exists in Sicilian "Lombards".. I assume some, but not 100%. Greeks have some Balkan influence so they would not be identical to today's population in Messina, but I suspect on various Aegean islands it comes close to people there.

[Anglojew]

The north man is strong in him

Hard to say. First, who where the Lombards (Northern Italians) who settled in Sicily? Medieval Northern Italians (descendants of Italics, Celts, Ligurians...) with some Germanic elements of Lombard (Germanic) and Frankish stock assimilated between VIII and X century AD.

According to historian Lucio Lambi ("La popolazione della Sicilia fra il 1374 e 1376") the whole population of Sicily did not exceed 300 thousand inhabitants on about 1374. Consider that Lombards of Sicily on 1168 during an enemy rebellion sent an army of 20 thousand people.

He can EASILY pass as French, lots of french people have that look.

[Selurong]

He looks French like the French dude I saw on TV.

Alpinid + Nordid.
I see no reason why he couldn't pass.

[Brzęczyszczykiewiczówna]

[Sikeliot]

Yes, he could.

[Volscian]

More German than French.

[Gustave H]

Definitely.

[Tiberio]

Can also pass further north in my opinion.
