Carmela is spot-on. Are blond hair, blue eyes and fair skin the norm in Southern Italy and Sicily? No, but they're not that uncommon, either.

I agree they're not that uncommon at all. Especially nowadays it seems.


I don't understand why you say, "Are many people in southern italy STILL dark skinned?" and what do you mean by "especially nowadays"? What is it you think happened over recent years exactly? lol
I have to say your preoccupation with skin color of people in southern italy and sicily is curious, as you've made almost this same exact thread before. What exactly is it you're getting at?
