Are northern Italians more ancestrally Gallic, Italic or Germanic?

[Köstebek]

Are there any Levantine influences in Northern Italy?

No trolling,just curious

That would be profession of Sikeliot. If someone know that, its him. He has gedmatch from areas of Italy. He might have good idea about that

My guess is most of their ancestry is from the pre-Roman Gaulish population.

We don't have to guess.

According to Emperor Nikephoros Phocas, in 968 A.D. has called all Northern Italians = Barbarians.

He called them, Barbarian Franks, he accused them for deportations and slaughter of Italians.

On the other hand he called Catalans = Italians.

I doubt that modern historians are smarter than Nikephoros and others.

What do you mean with Levantine? If ancient (EEF) yes, otherwise just a weak influence along the Adriatic coasts brought by Byzantines.

Whatever it is supposed to mean....

I hear the word Levantine here so often that i wondered if there is anything like that in Northern Italy too or if it
is only Southern Italians and Cypriots who have this honor.

Any Levantine DNA in northern Italy was brought there by migration from the south. So the answer is, for the most part, no.

Ancient or recent?
Recent southern migration would be only relevant for Milan and Turin and some other industrial areas.

Why would Byzantines bring Levantine ancestry? I don't get it. What are you referring to?

Recent.

North Italians would not have any Levantine DNA, unless the person was not really a full northerner and had a Sicilian or Calabrese grandparent or something, then there will be a small amount of Levantine DNA.
