Classify Calabrian-American gangster Albert Anastasia

[Scholarios]

Anastasia's family hailed from the Griko region of Tropea in Southern Italy. He was an infamous murder and founder of Murder Inc. and a head boss in the Gambino Crime Family in the 1950's.

Looks more Greek or Italian?

[Prince Carlo]

Quite exotic specimen.

[Sikeliot]

Stereotypical Sicilian mobster look.

He looks Calabrese though. He doesn't look more Greek than typical for there.

In the final photo he looks almost Balkan. It's interesting anyways, as he is clearly from a Griko area (Tropea) with a clear Griko surname (Anastasia). Would you say the other characteristics about him are Latin or something else?

[Sikeliot]

Well to be fair Calabrese do not look "Latin" to me but generally all of them have Greek ancestry, so Griko are simply Calabrese who preserved their original language.
