Great body, if over-built for my taste, but I don't think his face is beautiful; it's very asymmetrical, even more asymmetrical than that of someone like Mark Strong, i.e. eyes are way too small for his face. Too much HG in his face too. Plus, I've seen him interviewed, and he seems stupid, so...NO. :)Quote:

Yes, I definitely have a "thing" for southern Italian men. It might be imprinting, though; I was very young when I fell in love, even though we split for rather long periods before we married.
Giulio Berruti is very handsome, but he doesn't have that "oomph" for me. Maybe he's too perfect, and so not masculine enough. I don't know.

I really like the look of this Spanish actor: Miguel Angel Silvestre

Some New World Hispanics are also sometimes very good looking:

Justin Clynes is definitely gay, and absolutely beautiful.

Everything about her was soft, and round, and feminine, not today's type at all.

It seems as if there are cycles and the wheel turns. Those decades were very beautiful women on the outside but also inside, human look, it seems that their interior is just as beautiful. I see the beauty in these generations and they are tense, they are real bugs when you hear them speak, they just try to look good projecting a false and prefabricated interior. The beauty of those decades however is natural and with a sense of truth that is scarce today.
There are still some actresses in whom you can see a certain depth of soul. Their "humanity" shines our of their eyes. This is Luisa Ranieri. She's not "classically" beautiful, perhaps, but I love, love, love the way she looks. It's a very southern Italian look that I find very appealing. Her husband, Italian actor Luca Zingaretti of "Montalbano" fame, has excellent taste. :) He also projects integrity and sensitivity.

Here Zingaretti speaks of why the character he portrays, Montalbano, is so popular, and it is that he hearkens back to an older time, when the men of the south hewed to a code of honor, of friendship, even of justice, which has been lost in the modern world. I think Zingaretti does such a good job of portraying such a man because perhaps he shares those "older" qualities as well. If only men were like that nowadays.

He's Roman, btw. I can definitely see him as a Centurion or something. :)
^^
Yes they see a very integral marriage. She is very sweet, she seems like a good person and it is true that she could play a Roman movie; although I have seen in it several lands according to planes and light as well as center europe, north, even Iberia all in a Roman finish. Normally people who make movies are happy because they do something they like, but at least when you talk you can believe that you are telling the truth.
Luisa Ranieri is Gorgeous in those photos.
Beato Lui :annoyed:

Beauty could not be missing among the beautiful Rita Hayworth, one of the women who must be in the unconscious not only of the population of her country but of the entire planet.
Even though it is not my personal favorite type of beauty, if I try to be objective, there is something in some Italian women, for example Ariana Grande (even though she also has American ancestors ... whatever that means) that reaches some kind of perfection. I do not think any other "gracile Mediterraneans" reach this level of perfection. I only have seen it in some Italian women. I would like to know if there is some light in their origin. Maybe ultra-neoteny?

Special mention to these andalusian girls whose beauty borders on perfection.
I agree with you, Carlos. I think some Spanish women also have that "small Med" kind of look, and can be very beautiful. In fact, I think they have more small Meds than Italians do as a proportion of the population.
I have to say, though, that obviously tastes differ, because I don't think Ariana Grande is a particularly beautiful example of that look. You can go to any mall and see girls who look like her. Plus, she never grew into a woman's body.

A really beautiful Italian example of that kind of look was Gina Lollabrigida, I think. Even middle aged she was a stunner.

Beauty for me comes in different forms, though, even with much stronger facial bone structure. Manuela Arcuri:

I absolutely adore the way Caterina Murino looks too.

Youtube chef Laura Vitale (from Napoli) has a bit of that look, I think, although much softer, and I think she's quite pretty.

Now if this isn't Italian, I don't know what is....

CHG actress Lika Kavzharadze had a very good face in my opinion. Heavier and more pronounced bones than most Western women (or even men for that matter). I'm partial to less refined features in both sexes.

The more women use their reproductive assets to market themselves nowadays, highlighting them as strength, the more I understand how embedded beauty is in proportions.
Both stunning in slightly different ways. First one Gracile Med, yes? Perhaps a Venus or a Flora. Second one is the Italian actress Lyda Borelli from Genova (Liguria). She's slightly different: stronger jaw, fairer, slightly different nose. Still very harmonious, though.Quote:

Looking at the below picture, especially, I think she looks completely Italian.

Dea of Butrint, Albania.
It was discovered in Butrint, Albania by an Italian archaeological expedition led by Luigi Maria Ugolini.
When the workers found it, they immediately showed to Ugolini. He took the sculpture in his hand, speechless, amazed by the beauty of this head inspecting for long minutes. Then he finally said one word, Dea in english Goddess.It is supposed to be the head of the Apollo with female features.
BTW, classify?
First one is a slightly neotenised (child-like) Gracile Mediterranid (you could interpret that as minor Alpinid admixture, but there's no need), and the second one approaches closer to the Eurafricanid (Atlanto-Mediterranid) form and is much more progressive and mature. The second one could also be a Hallstatt Nordid - the Hallstatt Nordid type metrically approaches the Atlanto-Mediterranid extremely closely (they are virtually indistinguishable).Quote:

A better term would be Skando Nordid or Göta Nordid, but they tend to be used more loosely than Hallstatt Nordid (which is why I used the term Hallstatt Nordid). It would all have made so much sense if Globular Amphora was I1, but unfortunately they're I2... Still, we only have a few samples, and we already know of I1 in the Central European Neolithic.
That type doesn't exist in real life (nobody has a nose that runs so straight and smoothly into the forehead), so I can't be more precise than just saying a mature Mediterranid with broadening and shortening of the vault through Alpinid admixture. That particular form of the nose in art is East Mediterranean in origin, and has its tradition in the Greeks and even earlier with the Minoans. The closest form to that that you could probably get is amongst Georgians without pronounced nasal convexity.Quote:

American travel author and diplomat Bayard Taylor in 1862 claimed that, "So far as female beauty is concerned, the Circassian women have no superiors. They have preserved in their mountain home the purity of the Grecian models, and still display the perfect physical loveliness, whose type has descended to us in the Venus de' Medici."[7]
Below, a Circassian woman:

People from the Balkans and Italy may also approach this type, but nowhere near as closely.
Thanks for taking the time to share your opinion ToBe.

For me, it would be East/Hallstatt Nordid for a woman and Norid-Faelid for a man.
Example for a woman (perfection and basically Hitler's wet dream despite being non-Germanic):

Example for a man:
(If I find a perfect example I'll post it here - I have a basically perfect example but it's a Nazi from a computer game that basically epitomises strength and masculinity, see various angles below)

They really nailed his phenotype in this campaign, he looks exactly as you'd expect from an elite warrior. Kind of terrifying in its own way, silly again but I could imagine him having an insanely high kill count in WW2. Nobody can be more masculine than that look imo.
In terms of ideal phenotypes including things like intelligence, willpower etcetera, it would for me be more Dinarid than anything else. Like Schrodinger, who looks Northern Adriatic (including Northern Italy and Austria as well as the typical Dinaric countries) broadly:
https://news.nationalgeographic.com/...apt.1900.1.jpg
You can tell a lot by physical appearance, and to me this image screams intelligence. In this particular photo (but not others), he could even be Jewish/Israeli. In fact, if you look at great Europeans throughout history they are highly Dinarid as opposed to Nordid or any other phenotype. I can't think of a single truly great and significant non-Dinaricised Nordid in all of modern European history, seriously.
Are you really Jewish :grin:Quote:

I've said a few times on here that I like Dinarids (and Norids are similar just more aesthetically pleasing). There's a reason besides economy that Sweden and Italy have reacted so differently to the migrant crisis.Quote:

And I think my choices, pigmentation aside, are borderline objectively correct lol. You could go for a darker, more Mediterranid type for both my ideals for males and females (Angela certainly does), but in terms of facial structure one represents a highly progressive femininity and the other a highly progressive masculinity. You could prefer less elegant and more masculine women or less masculine men/masculine yet inelegant men, but you'd be wrong :grin:Quote:

She passes exceedingly easily as Jewish (and even more so as from a rich Jewish family) - and Jews, like Italians, tend to be pretty buxom, which reminds me of those Minoan depictions of women with massive breasts. This woman actually looks a lot like the famous Minoan women:Quote:
