These are more "modern" people:

this young man looks more western European (common in Germany and surroundings, even in Scandinavia): he shows according to me (!) a good cromagnon heritage on the way to partial brachycephally: parallele of the 'alpinization' process, but keeping more bony face compared to genuine COMMON 'alpine' type,: it's to say: the 'borreby' A model, with round almost vertical forehead, NO apparent 'brünnoid' features - maybe from Italics but I doubt this type was dominant among them, lacks some 'mediterranean' and 'dinaroid' traits: surely enough more incorporated in a Celtic or Ligurian population before latinization (it could be confirmed by the geographical localization)- just bets
He's Giuliano Razzoli, Italian gold medalist in the slalom.
And you can tell from his hat where he's from! He was born in a village a few kilometers from where my father was born. It's not at all an uncommon look there. I told you we harbored some "Cro-Magnon" types up there.
What you say about it forming part of the "Ligure" gene pool makes sense to me. Cavalli-Sforza thought these mountains and the Appennino Ligure served as a refuge area for them.
In the plains, and even in the mountains to some extent, that genetic "strain" has mixed with Mediterranean and/or "Dinaric" (?) to produce people who look like Luca Toni...Does that make sense?
