North Italy is Nordic and Germanic ... or not?

[WOOHP]

Nonsense. The majority of Scandinavians could plausibly be Germans, and a majority of Germans could pass unnoticed in Scandinavia.

Many Germans would pass that's true, they are quite close to Scandos.

South Germans are inbetween Scandos and North Italians.

I see some differences though..Maybe it's because I've been to both countries several times.
Overall it's pretty hard to distinguish from eachother.

Northern "Italy" has large amount of Celtic and Germanic genes.

Sure. No doubt.

North-Italian Celts.

[Sonnenmensch]

North-Italian Celts.

I meant not all people, but many have, just like me:

Sure. No doubt.

North-Italian Celts.

If they were Portuguese, many users here would classify them as "north atlantid", "they can fit in Ireland" , "they look like Welsh with a tan".

No. The only part of North Italy who is Germanic is South Tyrol.

[Sikeliot]

There is Germanic influence in northern Italy, but northern Italians are much more Italo-Celtic, like the southern French.

apparently all the towns and cities in the province of Vicenza are claiming some degree of cimbric influence. usually it's from flimsy evidence like the neighborhood of StoKazzo got its name from the germanic word stoKazzen and so on. probably they had a certain flow of german workers over there in the middle ages but if you ask me they are overemphasizing it.
