What differences do you observe between the ones here vs. in Italy and Argentina and Brazil? I think 'lighter' and 'darker' are too general so maybe you'll explain better than I did.

Well i don't think I can give a really good explanation since the only Italians I've come in contact with in large numbers are the ones here as oppose to just a couple of native Italians and one or two Italians from Argentina. I just though that Italians from south America were more representative since you said that most Italians here are darker. Anyways, sadly The only difference I can mention are just about their phenotype, in this case the Argentinian ones I met were ironically all blond with blue eyes at first I though that one of the guys was of German decent much more "whiter" then your average Italian here.
