Which region of Italy do people look the most like standard mainland Greeks?

[Sikeliot]

GEDmatch =/= phenotype. Spanish people have more dark eyes than they 'should' and Ashkenazi people have more light eyes than they 'should.' It's not as simple as ADMIXTURE.

But Jews have Near Eastern influence in their features, while Spaniards look European even when dark, with exceptions. It is as it "should" be in that way.

But I am saying not only do mainland Greeks not come up genetically like southern Italians, but they do not look like them either. They have squarer heads, a Balkan look overall and are more robust.

Here is the question in reverse:

I know some Griko people from Calabria... they are pretty much dead ringers for Greeks from the Peloponnese. So I picked the region of Italy with the highest number of Griko people.

Of the Peloponnese Greeks I have met, they're all quite light. I do not know what Griko look like to compare, but I have been told they are the same as anyone else from Calabria.

your fetish for Calabria swarthiness is a bit ridiculous, to be honest. They look just like other S, Italians

I think southern Italians from some regions look lighter (Apulia, Lucania, Abruzzo) while Campania, Calabria and Sicily are darker.

What is your view here?

Sardinians are probably the darkest, Calabria possibly in 2nd place. Abruzzese are Central Italians
