^ You are quite correct, Dewd. Even between Trent Alto Adige and Veneto you will find differences. Same thing goes with differences between Friuli and Romagna. And of course, many Italians can tell apart a South Italian from Campania versus one from Calabria. ^ If I may prattle more of this photo with the girl with the bodacious body, the man standing to her left reminds me of a Paul McCartney type, and very similar to Scots character-actor Tommy Flanagan.

You have already spotted two Brit looking Tuscans Caudium. Another couple more and you will have Spaniards and DoYouMindd cursing at you.

It would be more accurate to say "Italian looking Brit actors". |

LOL. Well, it's sort of like this. The man has a wide forehead that tapers downwards. As well, you can see that it flares depth-wise as well, so if you saw his head in plan view (overhead) it would flare out quite a bit from the temple region. Add to this, the high arching eyebrows, and the space of eyefold fat between the eyebrows and the eyes (making a 'supercilious' look). Together with the small nose, small mouth makes for that certain look I mentioned. It'd be interesting to see what's the cause of it. |

Yes it would be interesting. Maybe some remains of a paleolithic common look who was widespread all over Europe. Which part of Tuscany are you going to visit? Florence can be quite hot and crowded in that period and i fear you will see very few "real" Tuscans there.

I'm going to Lucca, Siena and Florence. I read that northern and central Italy is literally flooded with immigrants. And in summer there are plenty of tourists as well. Maybe I can train my eyes with this thread so i can distinguish everyone

I fear Chinese in Tuscany are much more if we count the illegal, but probably the number would increase for the rest of Italy too. Anyway cities like Prato seem really Chinatown now, with the chance to not find an Italian for entire blocks. Pisa instead seems Casablanca and Livorno Dakar but they both are much less flooded than Prato with Chinese. Edited by the duke, May 24 2012, 06:07 PM.

I guess that's almost normal for Western European standards. I can only talk about Germany and you have Turks in every little corner of the country. |

The problem is that Turks in Germany have flooded in a longer time and gave the Germans much more time to accept this, while in Italy the immigrants came in huge amount in the last 15\20 years. If nobody gives a break to indiscriminate immigration i fear some social disorders will burst soon. |

I remember going to Bologna some years ago. Center was full of North Africans, for real. Italians seemed a minority. Just Incredible! |

Berlusconi was in power for most of the last 20 years. So much for right-wing politicians doing much to check heavy immigration. I don't see why Italy cannot meet its labour needs from other EU countries. Pisa is also bad for West African immigration. Edited by Praetorian, May 24 2012, 07:27 PM.

Berlusconi was unpopular between the Bruxeless' old fogeys, and he couldn't do much more for the risk to be sanctioned. Nonetheless his govern has its fair share of negligence but European citizens can circulate freely in Italy and some are part of the problem as well to be real. Add that you have to respect an amount of non Euro immigrants and many are illegal too or reunited with their own family. Yes Pisa is bad for Western Africans too but they are harmless, so you notice the N.Africans more, whereas in Livorno Senegalese are really the largest. Leopoldo de Medici was not fully Tuscan, was part french and Austrian too. The nose seems french indeed.

Duke, most of the West Africans in particular are wasting their time, cluttering the streets trying to sell crappy junk or folding umbrellas to passers-by. |
