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

[revenger]

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

I don't think you can really comment without visiting all those places

Why the fuck are you posting on TA then ?

Ah ok. I think the Greeks who look like southern Italians are southern Peloponnese (Lakonia area), Cretans, Aegean islanders and Cypriots. But that's just my view.

You are probably going by features more than coloring.

To make fun of those who do.

Greece has only 11 millions of inhabitants, just Sicily and Campania together have around the same

I know. But my point is I do not think people from places like Epirus on the Albanian border, or Macedonia are going to look much like southern Italians.

I think Abruzzo and Apulia have a more "Balkan" vibe which makes sense a) genetically and b) geographically compared to other Italians.

Greeks also founded many cities on the Adriatic coast

Well, it depends, I think its ok for me to say that Ligurians look less Greek than Abruzzese, but to single out 1 region and say with confidence that this region is the most greek would be pretty iffy. The problem with not having been to each of the regions is that it can be very anecdotal. Knowing a couple of people isn't usually a good representation of an entire region. The problem with is that even most Italians probably haven't had long enough of a visit with Italians of all the different regions.
