I'm not trolling,I ask this question for genetically Greeks and Italians are almost southernmost of Europe,and according to the data,Italy is the least blond country in Europe
Blond/blonds in Southern European nations:
Serbia = 14.5%
Bulgaria = 12%
Portugal = 11%
Greece = 10.7%
Spain = 9.5%
Italy = 8.5%

South Italians are not much darker than Greeks. North Italians are lighter than Iberians I believe on average. Italians are just darkwashed completely lol.

As far as I have observed, Italians are overall lighter than both Greeks and Spaniards.

Italians are more diverse than Greeks and especially Iberians. North Italians are closer to French and Swiss in pigmentation than to Southern Italians, who are quite uniformly meddish.

I think roughly northern Greeks are par in pigmentation with central Italians, southern Greeks with southern Italians, and Cypriots with Sicilians.

'Italians' means nothing, North and South Italians are worlds apart. South Italians are darker than mainland Greeks and Iberians.

No they're not. In fact, they're the lightest of the three on average. Leave it to the people on this forum to moorify Italians at any chance they get.

these percentages I don't know if they are accurate and come from studies done in different ages and with different criteria and different methods, so you can not really compare these percentages. Then the Italians are more than Spaniards and many more than Greeks. With the same percentage, the Italians are more numerous.
