R1b u152 seems to dominate Italians, blond haired blue eyed ones or very Celtic looking ones in particular, an extension of the Gaul/Swiss race into Italy, we all know of the many Gallic tribes that migrated from all over France to Italy with bellovesus, we know about the even older golasecca Gaul culture in Lombardy, in fact, the ancient Romans themselves may have in part descended from men that crossed the Swiss alps into Italy long ago, forgetting about their Gallic cousins and eventually conquering them thousands of years later with the rise of the Roman Empire, the original Romans, the "Latini" tribe centred around modern day Latina province in lazio, Italy, where probably a Gallic group deep in italian territory, that eventually conquered the rest of italics and would create the Roman Empire, wat drastically separates the French from the Italians is the Greco-Turk and north-African influence the southern Italians acquired; northern Italy was bombarded by Germanic, but, particularly, Gallic genetic influence. My own grandfather was from Pisa ( northern Tuscany) in a region where about 52% of males are R1b, and the majority is u152. He had hi-liter blonde hair, and baby blue eyes, through a genographic test on his son (my uncle, mothers brother) it was discovered that he was R1b u152+ positive.
