Do Northern Italians look more like Southern Germans or like Southern Italians?

[Sikeliot]

To me, the answer is obvious; they have too much Atlantid and Nordid influence to pass in southern Italy collectively, and they look much more like southern Germans. But not everyone agrees with this.

Look Michel Platini, north italian, he's much closer to sicilian than to bavarians, even in southern France he's atypical.

They have more Atlanto-Med and Dinarid and less Nordid influence than Southern Germans, but types like Armenoid, South Med, Berids are not existing in Northern Italy

Pure N. Italians of Alpine Facade stock are closer to south Germans

I think this makes the difference. I think it is more likely to take a group of northern Italians and think they are a comparable group of southern Germans. The reason the line is now blurred is due to how many southern Italians have moved north.

This is a typical Northern Italian face:

SudTirol, Friuli, Trentino are pretty much of Southern Germany/Austria same as Veneto... Lombardy are mixed now I believe.

I don't understand how people think northern Italians look anything like Sicilians. They barely look Mediterranean at all! And they look just like their northern neighbors. I think you are all used to seeing southerners who moved up north and mistake them for northern Italians. But even genetically, northern Italians are as close to Brits as they are to southern Italians, so obviously they are close to southern Germans.

Where have you ever seen native northerners looking like this?

Souther Italians.

You are going by coloring, I am going by features. Northern Italians, facially, look much more Western/Central European even if they are dark.
