Let's give some mood to this thread. Monica Bellucci (from Umbria, central Italy, Italic area)

I think as a group they can pass nowhere. As singles, they can maybe pass in Spain, especially in southern Spain. But only the more mediterranean ones.

Hi, I'd like to know something more about Leopoli/Lviv and its region. I plan to visit it sooner or later. :)

I am quite familiar with the Balkan look. There is not just one only Balkan look. Eastern Slovenjans look more traditional slavic with a German vibe, while western Slovenjans look identical to Friulans and basically they are both dinarid. Albanians are dinarid too but have something more...

As an Italian I voted for navigators: of course without them the process of colonization of America would never have started or at least the world would be deeply different from what it is today in bad and in positive. Large masses of humans would not have deported from Africa or Europe to the...

Russia, why not?? Germani countries... mmm... not my bread. As a southern European I don't think I would like to live in Northern Europe, or at least not in the germanic countries. For some reasons I feel attracted instead to North-East Europe, especially (Western) Russia. At this point I ask...

Northern Italy has also many beautiful rural scenarios. Ok, not Milan, but the Venetian country or the lakes of Lombardy or Trentino are definitely amazing. The south is better for the sea, especially Campania, Sardinia, Sicily and some parts of Apulia, but the north has the Ligury Coast that...

Nooo, the most beautiful place of Southern Italy is the Amalphitan Coast! It's way too wonderful. I don't like Apulia particularly, I find it gray and bare.

You consider accepting the dinner invitation at the house of someone you just met. I have been invited once for a coffee by a girl I had just met.​ It's true that you could be invited to stay for dinner if you are guest in a house, but it happens also abroad. You automatically ask for the vino...

I think that the second shows a clear Indid look, but I see also some Arabid. So I think they are from a place where the Indian genepool mixes with the Arabic one. I go with Afghanistan/Pakistan or North-West India.

Hello, this is my list of the greatest Italians. ARTISTS/COMPONISTS Michelangelo Vivaldi Verdi Tiziano EXPLORERS Colombo (discovery of America) John Cabot (born Giovanni Caboto) Marco Polo (first western man to reach China, and the first to hear about the existence of Japan) Amerigo Vespucci...
