Paul, your personal experiences are anecdotal and don’t prove anything. For something a little more objective, have a look at this:

@ Vince, actually, I’ve been told I look Italian by my Italian family. Who are all blonde, pale and blue-eyed. I was in Northern Italy a few weeks ago, and I saw tonnes of people there that weren’t just “slightly lighter”. (:
Not trying to throw what you said back in your face, btw.

Her father is for sure from Sicily, southern Italy. Her mother maybe is of mixed european roots.

Paul, the reason you don’t “look Italian” is because you’re only 1/8. It has nothing to do with what part of Italy your ancestors come from. Same goes for Taylor Swift (and btw, the Baldi surname is also found in the South). Northern Italians are slightly lighter than Southern Italians, but still not particularly light. Hell, even Southern Germans are predominantly dark.
