Definitely the same kind of gene pool.
North Italy (Bergamo) looks very much like the supposedly "Medieval Iberian" sample found at Collegno (that's labeled incorrectly, imo), and SZ36 looks Tuscan here, and that's what it comes out on the calculators, but CL36 Emilian. I do indeed practically land on the latter sample. Szolad 43, to which I'm reasonably close, also comes out as North Italian on the Eurogenes K13, but more east than Bergamo.
I would love to know how my mother would have tested. My hunch is that she would have been Tuscan like, despite having half her ancestry from the Lunigiana. Partly, I think it's probably her father's ancestry from La Spezia. His line is the only one where I have a few holes in my tree because of the destruction of records during the war, so a few people from his tree may have moved up from Toscana, and also, while the people of the Lunigiana are more northern shifted, more Emilian like, there is some variation even there, with the most northern shifted up in the foothills. IF that's correct, which I can't be certain about, that would mean that my father's people are probably a bit more northern shifted than most people of Emilia, but I've thought for a long time that those mountains might be part of that whole mountain group called the territorio delle quattro province: Alessandria, Genova, Pavia and Piacenza.
I don't know what, in particular, is "special" about Sassuolo, since it's just a small town near Modena, but for fun: both these singers come from there.

And, of course, Nek:
Anyone know more about this "North Roman Warrior", and/or have his gedmatch number?
