Most common "Mediterranean" type in southern Italy: Atlanto-Med, Gracile Med, East Med or Pontid?

Maybe it depents in wich province you are..? I know people from Avellino and they look quite similair to Calabrese or Sicilians I've seen.

Atlanto-med is quite common in Naples.

What about people like Serena Autieri or the neapolitan user BlondeSalad of this board? They're mostly atlantid and their phenotypes aren't a ''rarity'' in the city.

East Med is by far the most dominant, closely followed by Gracile Med.

I think it's east meds as most people here relate southern italian looks mostly with Greek Cypriot/Lebanese and Turkish east med types while Greek looks like pontid or atlanto-med are not very frequent.

Southern Italians do not look Greek Cypriot/Lebanese/Turkish

Can someone post some example of ''east med''? I never seen any example fo this subrace in the racial samples...i'm really curious.

True, I also some people here and there with that phenotype.
But they're also not really uncommon in Sicily right ?

How would you describe Claudio Gioè from the miniserie Corleone ?

Someone like this.. it is more or less a Gracile Med with some sort of faint West Asian influence.

Is that a wig ?

No, it's not

Anyway I think that people misuse the term "East Med". It is simply a Gracile Med, with minor West Asian influence.

Yep mostly in the Conca D'Oro (palermitan valley) but some even in the woggy east...like Miriam Leone.

Claudio Gioè is from Palermo and has an interesting look...i would say that's panitalian.

Look a bit like the singer Jovanotti (tuscan) and the neapolitan actor Alessandro Siani
