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.

Then you must not have visited Genoa. My good friend, American of Italian descent, married a girl from there blond and green eyed, while there, I noticed there were a lot of Italians with similar features.

Incidently, I'm Italian on my mother's side, and Sicilian on my fathers side. The Sicilians are most definitely darker people, for the most part, compared to the natives on the boot.
