Ethnically speaking, Aosta Valley and Savoy is Arpitan whilst Nice is Provencal/Occitan. They do belong in France, more so than Corsica, Catalonia or Basque country.
Anyways, more posts about the topic would be great.

I'm not sure. I would guess Minho or Douro Litoral but differences here aren't huge.

I disagree with you. To me all of the eastern regions are darker than the western regions with the exception of Agrigento. I generally find coastal Sicilians to be lighter and inland to be darker. I would have said, from lightest to darkest:
1) Palermo -- the lightest region.
2) Trapani -- a lot of dark types, but the second lightest region.
3) Ragusa -- seems to be lighter than the rest of the east, but with many darker types too. Generally Greek looking.
4) Caltanissetta -- Nordic influences still present but they fade around here.
5) Syracuse, Messina, and Catania are all about the same -- phenotypes close to Cretan and Aegean Greeks.
6) Enna -- homogenously dark overall, but not as exotic as Agrigento in features.
9) Agrigento -- practically an extension of the Levant. A lot of Armenoid, East Med, even Berberid influences are evident.

No dispute here.
They're more mixed than the rest of the East, but not in a Northern-orientation, but a Southern one.
The Northern part of the province, yes. San Cataldo, etc. is like an extension of Palermo.
However, most of the population is coastal - like Gela, largest town in the province. They are quite swarthy there. An extension, more-or-less of Agrigento.
I chose to call them darker based on Southern Caltanissetta, you said lighter because of Northern Caltanissetta. Either are valid.
Agreed.
