🌍 How Rare Are You in Italy?
🇮🇹 Genetic Landscape of Italy
Italy spans an extraordinary genetic gradient from the Alpine north to the Mediterranean south. Northern Italians share genetic markers with Germanic and Celtic populations, while Southern Italians carry Greek, Arab, and North African ancestry. This north-south divide means that eye color, hair color, and even height vary dramatically within the same country. A blue-eyed blonde from Milan and a dark-eyed Sicilian are both 'Italian' — a reminder that national averages hide fascinating regional diversity.
