A European ethnicity that is distinctly Mediterranean and therefore carries a phenotype similar to people from Spain, Greece, the Middle East, and northern Africa. This means that Italians can blend in a lot of places. Oddly enough, I noticed that many Italians have one eyebrow straighter (on the left) while the other is curved and sits lower down (on the right). Italians are generally considered attractive, although it is easy for us to get ugly with our hairy tendencies. People are usually on the short side (women 5'2"-5'6", men 5'8"-6'0"), although they were much shorter during the Roman times. According to a tour guide at the Flavian Ampitheater at Pozzuoli, a 5'5" man would be considered very tall and gladiator material. Northern and southern Italians tend to have distinctly different norms of appearance. Lighter skin, eyes, and hair are common in the north (think auburn hair with hazel eyes). Black hair, dark brown (or blue!) eyes, and midtone olive skin are common for the south. Southerners are generally shorter than their fellow northern countrymen. More on the Mediterranean people: search for "gracile mediterranid" for anthropological concepts specific to Italy.
Personality, behavior, and levels of maturity are relevant only on an individual basis and are separate from ethnicity.
Italians at first glance are commonly mistaken for:
•Iranians (especially in California)
•Greeks
•Armenians
•Hispanics

When you go to an upscale restaurant in a major city with a strict dress code (the kind of place that lends out a jacket to the sap that forgot his at home) without a jacket, a ridiculously colored pair of pants, and an obnoxious bow tie or better yet in shorts, flip flops and no tie, either way with your sleeves rolled up. You then manage somehow to be seated against the establishment's policies. Shortly thereafter you are sung happy birthday in Italian by a portly employee. For additional fun, go to the bathroom all the way across the restaurant in your shorts, thereby giving everyone a second look at your audacity.
Guy 1: She didn't tell me the place would be so fancy. I was insanely underdressed.
Guy 2: So, what'd you do?
Guy 1: What any man would do. I went in there, met her dad and brother, and pulled The Italian Birthday.
Guy 2: How'd that turn out?
Guy 1: Oh they hate me, but it was funny as hell.
