Regarding the Italians, I think a well-known international study found out Imperial Rome had a fucking lot of Middle Easterners from the east of the empire. Also, Southern Italy is just geographically very close to the Middle East and North Africa, obviously it's expected that they'd score more of that stuff than, say, Lombardians or Tyroleans, don't you think?
