In my own tripartite classification terminology: girl with straight hair is neolithic/mediterranean with minor mesolithic elements, girl with curly hair is central.View attachment 6987
I apologize for the fact that the eyes aren't visible for the girl on the right. They're not as large as those of the girl on the left, and they're not deep set. They're also brown if it makes any difference.
In the last picture those are the same girls???
Wow. I can't even say which one of them is which one in the first pic
Are they all northern italian/northern tuscan? I think our fellow citizens fall mostly in a mediterranean+central mixed category, corresponding moreover with Family Tree DNA's vision of northern italians as southern euro+central/western euro, genetically. This could mean mediterranean+"mesolithic", too (heavier body structure than mediterranean, larger faces, somehow stronger and more rugged facial features). The girls you posted seem to confirm my hypotesis...Hurrah!No, they're not the same girls. Sorry, I didn't mean to confuse anyone.
I was thinking of Mars' categories and meant to show a bit of the range.

The dark hair girl looks like a friend of mine.
I'm not that expert of classification unfortunately.
Yes the girl in the original post i say.Do you mean the two women in post #13? Well, I guess they're not girls.
The girl in the original post?
Yes, Gaul comes to my mind in the first place. I think a direct germanic influence is more likely to detect in Veneto, Friuli and some areas of Lombardy, than in Liguria, Piedmont or Emilia (though some longobard heritage, in small percentages, exists in these regions, too). Yes, there are southern women, both in Italy and in other countries like Spain or Portugal, with a heavy body structure and also some mediterranean features like moderate height, dark eyes and hair, etc.Of course, add 15-20 pounds and even these kinds of faces can start to look more "Alpine".
I suppose if I had to categorize the mix in this particular part of Italy, I'd say it's more a Mediterranean/North Western European mix than a strictly Mediterranean/Central European mix, if by Central European you mean Germanic. Of course, if you consider Gaul central Europe then yes, I suppose a Mediterranean/Central Europe mx.
Also, I don't think this big boned equals northern thing totally works. I'm much smaller boned and leaner than a lot of the southern Italian women I know, although definitely taller as well.
