Only North eastern Italians are lighter, and the rest of Northern Italians (Lombardy, Emilia Romagna) have slightly more blondism and light eyes than Spaniards, and that's it. Central Italians are on par with Spaniards and southern Italians are darker.

I agree with this. Italians as a whole are darker then Spaniards and Spaniards are more northern shifted then any Italian.

Well, I don't think they're darker than Spaniards either. I think that averaging all their regions, they are on par with Spaniards, pigmentation wise.

Yes but i think Italy is a country that you can't be averaging, and spaniards or people with heavy iberian ancestry, have very close DNA results with french (except north), like you for example, you score a lot of Atlantic and in Ancestry you have France
