>>509029354 (OP)Spain and Italy are brother nations. Genoa were the bankers of the source of many administrative officials in Spanish empire.
Naples, Sicily and Sardinia were as well territories of Spanish monarchy for centuries as well. Milan for 150 years.
And for 150 years Florence and other states in Central Italy were vassals of Spanish monarchy.
>genesSpain carry more basal Preindoeuropean genes than Italy, that's why your average person here looks as swarthy as a Sardinian while score closer in charts to invasive Germanic populations in France, Alps and Britannia.
But Italians on average carry much more Germanic DNA, even Sicilians get more Germanic and even Slavic traits given the massive settlement of Germans and Balkaners during Middle-Ages and Modernity.
>>509031508Actually the original and true Europeans. Megalithic ruins, Classical Greece, Roman Empire, Age of Discoveries, Renaissance, Scientific revolution, Counter-Reformation and Fascism were Southern European historical fenomens.
The only thing we can say is Northern European are Dark Ages, Industrial Revolution (ignoring Venize already produced on industrial scale during Middle-Ages) and Age of information.
>>509031695Iron Age Greeks and Romans looked as today Italians and Greeks, if not more darker since they lacked of massive influx of barbarian Germanic and Slavic genes that arrived during Dark Ages. From mosaics and frescos people were predominantly "swarthy".
But you shurely are some short of British or Anglomutt diaspora in Portugal, what a garbage nation turned into a colony. What a worthless excuse of nation.
