One thought on “northern italians, southern italians”
this is so interesting and actual so historically accurate about Italians, especially in Italia. Northerner Italiano are similar to Germanic people of the Germanic tribes of Germaine, they are described as lighter hair colors, paler skin, and much taller in comparison to their Sicilian counterparts down Southeastern Italia (Italy) who are darker skin, hairy, shorter in height, dark eye color similar to other Mediterranean countries (Greece, Morocco, Cyprus, Maltese, Spain, Portugal, and Tunisia) some may be part of Northern Africa. It may come to a realization that they share similar genetic makeup to Northern Africans and Arabs. But it is very minor dna percentage of North African and majority Sicilian in that population of Italy. Anyways this post was so much fun and interesting to understand the difference between Southern Italians and Northern Italians bestie :^)!! 💗
