Italians and greeks?

Question

are these two ethnicities similar? it seems to me like they kind of are. jw. thanks

Answer 1

Greeks and Italians basically are two different peoples who, anciently, merged in some areas

The Greeks are believed to have migrated southward, from central Europe, into the Greek peninsula in several waves beginning in the late 3rd millennium (just over 2000 years BC), the last being the Dorian invasion.

The Italian people have somewhat varied European origins apart from the original Ancient Italic peoples: Northern Italy had a strong Celtic presence known as Cisalpine Gaul until the Romans conquered and colonised the area in the 2nd century BC; the Central portion of the Italian peninsula was inhabited by peoples known as the Etruscans; and southern Italy and Sicily was settled significantly by Greeks.

Answer 2

yes, they share common ancestry

Answer 3

I'm Greek, and a lot of people think I'm italian

Plus, my dad always says "Idea fatsa, Idea ratsa"

Which means "Same Face, Same Race"

So to answer your question, yes =D
