Phenotypes of Northern Italians (Italy is not only Sicily, you know).

[Oddone]

Here is a composite,, I really do not see much of a difference. But Not sure if Abruzzo should be considered geographically Southern Italy, it is mostly above Rome.

There is a such thing as Central Italy but most never talk about it.

Who did those composites? Crimson Guard and his boyfriend Racial Irreality? Those guys would kill anyone who dares to state that Italians don't look all like the Sopranos.

Actually that Abruzzo is southern Italy is the most accurate thing in those composites. And Tuscany is central Italy, not North Italy. I highly doub that who made those composites had a minimum knowledge of the facts.

I do not know but I have seen many Italian Americans and the range is quite large from Geraldine Ferraro to Big Pussy from the Sopranos.
Most Italian Americans are Southern Italian, or at least a mix of northern and southern. I really cannot tell much of a difference from my experiences ofcourse there are outliers. I would not focus to much on the Sopranos because Hollywood makes Italians out to look a certain way. My Grandfather who is 100% Southern Italian was mistaken for Irish his whole life.

Geraldine Ferraro Mix of Southern/Northern Italian, but is mostly from Naples area


Big Pussy I think he is Southern


Dean Martin Abruzzo: Southern but Central kind of



Sonny Bono, Sicilian



Nancy Pelosi (a mix of Northern and Southern Italian)


They all look similar to expect Big Pussy looks somewhat a outlier.

Geraldine Ferraro is half central Italian, half southern Italian. Nancy Pelosi is fully southern Italian as I know. Never met in my life an Italian who looks like Big Pussy.

that composite is from Racial Reality, a guy who tried to portrait North Italians as swarthy for years.
when I pwnd him with facts (a dermatological survey) he claimed that skin color is basically irrelevant when he was previously making a big deal of it.

I forgot the most famous of all who is half Sicilian and Northern Italian Frank Sinatra Ol' Blue Eyes.

Pelosi has some roots in Genoa I believe. But just saying the range for Southern Italians is quite large from my experience in the USA.

Typical Italian American is him: I am sure he is Southern Italian


Ofcourse on the Sopranos he looks more like this because Hollywood needs Italians to look a certain way.:

Well many Southern Italians are not even swarthy so I would think more North the less it is.
