Are northern and southern Italians the same?
No. Southern Italy differs from northern Italy in physical anthropology and genetics, as well as in culture and achievements
Southern Italians are shorter and darker than northern Italians, with smaller and more dolichocephalic heads.Genetically, southern Italy is allied with the Eastern Mediterranean and, to some degree, the Middle East, while northern Italy clusters with Central Europe. One study found “Clearly detected in the extant Sicilian gene pool . . . a clue for more recent gene flow of people from northern Africa and the Middle East superimposed on a predominantly Greek contribution.”

In The History and Geography of Human Genes, Cavalli-Sforza confirms:

The first synthetic map shows a clear gradient from north to south. One pole of the first axis is in the extreme south, in the eastern part of Sicily and the southern part of Calabria, which are separated by the narrow strairof Messina. The opposite pole includes all the north and center. Between Rome-which is centrally located on the peninsula-and the south, there is a progressive gradient of the PC. This corresponds to the well-known differences in physical type (especially pigmentation and general size) between northern and north-central Italians on one side and southern Italians on the other (Livi 1896-1905). northern Italians are more similar to central Europeans, whereas southern Italians are closer to other Mediterranean people, being darker and smaller.

Northern Italians are more central European ad southern talians are more middle eastern/arab …
Not my words but those of historians..and i do know that italian language orginated from Tuscan dialect and Tuscany is NOT NOWHERE NAR TO SOUTH

Some southern Italians do. If you saw me, I don’t tan at all, I’m white with dark hair. I’m do not have a dark complexion, yet I am southern Italian. Not all mixed. Besides, who gives a shit? They have mixed blood, as I said so do northern Italians. The modern Italian language is from Florence. Northern Italy and central didn’t speak it forever, they had their own dialects. (Er Purpone, anyone? Er isn’t a pronoun in Italian as far as I know) Same with Mezzogiorno. Northern Italy is just as mixed and separate as the South.

Don’t lump all of Mezzogiorno with Napoli. My family would scream if you said we were Napolitano yet we are from the South.

End of. I mentioned nothing about any teams. You can search for anti-Inter propoganda but I’m pretty sure the only thing I said about them was that they don’t have any Italians on their team. And that was a joke(But the backlash seemed to prove it true. Just saying).

Lastly, no one’s making you read this blog. If you feel I’m being biased, feel free to not read it. But I think you’re argument is kinda weak. I’ve admitted in the past that I’m a Roma fan and you’ll probably see me commenting over on the Roma blog. But I’m Italian first and foremost and when I deal with the national team, I put club differences aside
