Slovenia is sometimes considered Southern on maps. If that is the case then yes Slovene light hair come mostly from ancestors which came from more northern latitudes than Slovenia geographically is. The combination of Celtic (Taurisci, etc.), Slavic, Germanic, etc. migrators, settlers.... and so forth
Sicily being much higher than Sardinia and Calabria (and marginally higher than Lucania) most likely has to be attributed to the Germanic/Celtic admixture.
They aren't since i live in this country and i don't base my opinion over stereotypes and american sitcoms.Quote:

How much do you know about history of Northern Italy? How many times you been there?Quote:

...and Munich absorbed also a lot of non-german immigrants, so the percentage can be even higher...just ask to the bavarian members there.
I don't know why people consider bavarians and austrians some kind of mystical swarthoid populations.
...and yes, everybody on earth consider green eyes light...lol, how is this color, dark? :lol:

Light eyes = blue, green and grey eyes.
Dark eyes = all the rest.
Btw... Driven Mind, since you're bulgarian (and not austrialian as you claim to be), just take the first illegal boat from the balkans toward the Adriatic and come here to see the truth...
