Andrea Pirlo

[alzo zero]

Following my latest thread about my fellow citizen Aldo Busi (http://www.theapricity.com/forum/showthread.php?p=437013#post437013) here's another famous bresà (Brescian) for you to classify.

Some say that his grandmother was a Sinti Gypsy and I can see where that rumor comes from, since he does show some exotic facial traits around the eyes, nose and mouth. Nonetheless I wouldn't say that he cannot pass for Northern Italian. What do you think?

Interesting. So far all the Brescians I've posted for classification (three, including myself) have been classified as Atlanto-Dinarid, although to be honest I'm not sure that Andrea Pirlo is one. Anyway I will post more people from my province in the next days and at the end I'll see what are the predominant types according to you guys. :)

[GeistFaust]

He looks Dinarid/Atlanto Med something in that range he has a strong Dinarid strain with those nose and that very short steeply sloping forehead it is interesting to see how Dinarid Italians make them look like Balkan Meds sort of.

I agree that Dinarid seems to be predominant in him although he is shorter than average (Wikipedia is wrong, actually he's about 1.74m).

However this is how I see a "Balkan Med" and he doesn't look like Pirlo in my opinion:

atlanto/med with dinaric and maybe a slight cromagnid influence

[Mordid]

Typical Eyealian..

[Lucretius]

the eyes seem a bit eastern..

Incidentally he reminds me of Frenchman (of Portuguese extraction) Robert Pires.

I do agree that Pirlo's eyes are a lil bit "off" too. However I couldn't tell for sure by his look if he really had a Sinti grandmother.

Yep, he looks Slavic/Eastern European....

And what is typical Italian eyeshape ?

And what is typical Italian eyeshape ?
I don't know. I've never noticed there was a typical Italian eyeshape. Maybe it isn't even the shape of his eyes but the way he always keeps them half closed, it almost looks as if he's on the verge of falling asleep or as if he has just smoked a joint. The same for the way he speaks.

Atlanto-Med mostly with CM/Dinaro-CM tendencies.

[SonicYouth]

He is not a Sinti gypsy. He denied himself those rumours:
https://www.linkiesta.it/it/article/2014/12/17/andrea-pirlo-non-e-sinti-e-a-dirlo-e-proprio-lui/23921/

He is pure Northern Italian from Lombardy and he is Dinaro-Med.

Dinaro-Med

[jmls]

I classify him as Dinaricized Nordo-Mediterranid+CM.
He is not Roma at all, he is of Brescian(Lombard) family.
Him without heavy tan:

He even resembles people like Alan Rickman and Chuck Norris, who have British ancestry.

[Nazarene]

Great player, Dinaro-Med.

[Ayetooey]

Dinaro-Med. Could pass as south slav.

[Corded]

Atlanto-med + dinarid
