Lol, you're an idiot my friend. If I had the link I would show you. Scientists have done DNA testing in many European countries and reported their findings. When they did Italy they found that Italians generally had a higher percentage of pure people than other European nations. Sicily was still majority pure Italian/Sicilians, although yes they were invaded and some mixed with the moors. But this is often an over exploited piece of history.

I believe Calzaghe is half Welsh & half Italian. I remember reading that somewhere. Both at times resemble similar features.
Not to go on a lengthy history lesson, but:

Wales, Ireland, and Scotland are all Celtic (generally same ethnic makeup). Many of these nations have been invaded by the Romans/and or Spanish I believe. Which is where dark haired celtic people come from I believe (from that mixing). My grandpa's family fits that description. This is where the term Black Irish, Black Scottish & Black Welsh comes from.

I'm sure someone who is actually from there will come on and shoot holes in my theory but I believe it is accurate. And may explain your confusion.

DNA studies show there is more pre-Celtic native Briton in Welsh people than in the English, Scottish and Irish. The pre-Celtic native people of the British Isles are closely related to the Basque of Spain, and tend to be darker-haired and stockier than the generally lighter-haired and lankier Celtic race.

The earliest wave of Celts, who originated in an area north of Greece, arrived in Wales about 600 BC and brought the Welsh Gaelic language. A later invasion of Celts with a somewhat different language (Irish Gaelic) came to Ireland about 450 BC. The Celtic invaders had the advantage of being more advanced in the use of iron, and so had better swords and armor than the native people of Western Europe.

Wales was part of Roman Britain for about 400 years, during which time some people from Rome settled there. When the Angles, Saxons and Jutes gradually settled the rest of England, they never did take over Wales, so the "Romano-Britons" were never displaced there. However, after the conquest by Edward I of England in the 13th century, some English settled in Wales, especially in the cities. Welsh names like "Hopkins" have Anglo-Saxon roots.

Many Italians have Semitic/Arab blood in them as do the Spanish and Hispanics from when the ******s had a big stronghold in Europe centuries ago.
