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

[Loki]

Loki are you trolling me or what?

But there are no good representive group pics of Northern Italians tbh, and the few ones I've seen wouldn't fit at all in the core regions of Germanic Europe(Southern Scandinavia).

I've been to Rome and even there I saw plenty of people who could pass for Germans.

Wut? Here are some North Italians, you'll be the judge. These are random pictures not cherry picked like everybody else does!

Nordic influence is evident throughout Italy -- I don't think people get strongly Mediterranean until you get to Lazio/Abruzzo area and even then Central European types can be seen.

It's clearly concentrated in the north, not the south.

Wtf we are the scale to measure how little Nordic are the others?

Because most people imagine Iberians to be darker, but personally I think that you are "lighter" and more Germanic/Northern looking.
Dinro-Med(common among Northern Italians) types are less "Germanic" than Altantoids(common in Iberia) to me for an example.

So is it obvious "whom to thank" for the most developed regions?

Well that presumes Northerns Italian today would look like other Germanics. I can't see it though. Genetically speaking, they are very off aswell. Less Northern/Germanic admixture than Iberians for an example.

Actually there arn't many pics of Northern Italians here at TA so it's hard to judge.

Italy has had massive "internal" immigration the past century or so. The "original" ethnic North Italians are even a minority in many regions up there in the north today if I got it right...

Italy cannot into Nordics!

There is also more Atlantid/Atlanto-Med (western-looking Med) types in northern Italy which means that their Med types are going to look more pan-Western European or even like some German Atlantid types, than southerners.
