Italian? LOL!! I don't believe Italians are as dark as he is, especially the blue eyed, blond haired northern Italians. Sicilians, yes, but Italians, no.
Depends on what part of Italy. I forget whether it's northern Italy or southern Italy ... one of the areas they are fairly dark skinned. Btw, I have found it to be rare - a blond hair blue eyed Italian.
