Haplogroup J has an interesting distribution in Italy. In Reggio Di Calabria, for example, on the toe of Calabria not too far from Sicily, 3.6 out of every 10 men belong to y-DNA J; the vast majority of it J2. The city of Paola in north-central Calabria is a peak of J in all Italy. In this western coastal region 4.5 out of every 10 men belongs to J. In neighbouring Matera though, only 13% of men are J, and only 12% for Altamura as well (extreme lows). In southern Apulia, (Casarano city), about 25% of men are of the J family. Similar frequencies are observed in Brindisi (central Apulia) 24%. Northern Apulia (Foggia) near the gargano peninsula has the highest levels of J (along with Paola) 44% J. Cilento, southern Campania has 28% of J lineages. To the north, Benevento has 26% J. Also on the Molise/Apulia border (where Foggia connects with Campobasso) around 3.8 out of 10 men are J's. in central Italy, the town of Avezzano (Abruzzo region) has 20% J. L'Aquila was found to have 35% J in one study, and Pescara has 30% J. Frequencies In Verona (Veneto) are still present for some reason (27% J.) As for Genoa, Garfagnana, Val Di Non they have very low frequencies (9-10%) as the north (Gallic settlement areas) have less J obviously. In terms of the three islands (Sicily,Sardinia,Corsica) Sicily has, by far, the highest middle eastern Neolithic blood (30%), all of it J2. Whereas Corsica only has 3% J2 and Sardinia has 5%. Although, the opposite can be said in terms of E3b, as this peaks on the island of Corsica (15%), but also found in Sardinia (10%) as compared to Sicily (5%) in this study. When comparing J in Italy to frequencies in Iberia, for example, we can see that Italy peaks at 45% J, in two regions, northern Apulia, and central Calabria. Frequencies are relatively elevated though across Sicily, Apulia, campania, parts of Marche and Abruzzo, found in 20% of men across Lazio as well are J2 alone. Whereas the biggest peak in all Iberia is in Cadiz, where only 18% of men belong to J. Sicily also has abnormally high levels of y-dna F (12%) and much more J2 than E3b, insinuating a different point of arrival for these agriculturalists than the E3b ones.
