Italy before Hungary is iffy(also disagree with Slovenia before Czech but that's more reasonable), given Austrians are much closer to Hungarians genetically.
Tbh the only reason I put Hungary after Slovakia on my list is because Austrians and Slovaks have more similar pigmentation, Hungarians are much darker(although some people will tell you otherwise lol), Austrians and Hungarians probably have more similar facial features. While Austrians actually don't look very eastern(especially despite what their Slavic admixture would imply, pure Baltids are practically absent in Austria, a stark contrast from Czechia, Slovenia and Hungary), Pontid influence is still somewhat common(i.e Katharina Naschenweng), and of course Dinarid(although the latter is also heavily present in Italy). Basically most Austrians are either fully Germanic looking(i.e Isabella Kresche), Iberian/Italian rather than Balkan Med looking(i.e Irene Fuhrmann), or inbetween both with a lean toward Germanic as is the case for the majority of Austrians, ie this girl:
but eastern influence is still present, and Germanic types are naturally closer to Slavic or intermediary types, which is why there's no way Italy would be ahead of Hungary. Actually, N. Italians aren't as white washed on this forum as they used to be, but even if you only count N. Italians, Austria-Italy is one of the largest genetic, pigmentational and phenotypical borders in Europe, along with Ukraine-Romania and Slovenia-Italy. N. Italians really don't look too different from other Italians, just more outlier types(and also less outlier types of another sort more common in the South), averages are near the same.
