Northern Italy has redheads....my grandmother told me that..
I always liked red hair myself (though I do not have it) though I assume I would have agreed about the undesirability of red headed men UNTIL I took a trip to Scotland about twenty years ago and I was amazed at how many drop dead good-looking red-headed men there were.
Anyone who read the Outlander series (soon to be on tv!) will be familiar with reading about a good-looking red-heided hottie!
It's a Neanderthal gene.
I was sorry it didn't last, but at least the show's producers got enough notice to tie up the loose plotlines in the last episode.
I noticed in the movie “Dune”, all the Harkonnens were red headed.
Thanks nickcarraway.
Cisalpine Gaul
Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica

Cisalpine Gaul, Latin Gallia Cisalpina, in ancient Roman times, that part of northern Italy between the Apennines and the Alps settled by Celtic tribes. Rome conquered the Celts between 224 and 220 bc, extending its northeastern frontier to the Julian Alps.
When Hannibal invaded Italy in 218 bc, the Celts joined his forces, and Rome thereby lost this territory. It was recovered, however, during the final conquest of the Celtic Insubres and Boii between 198 and 191 bc. In 42 bc the province was incorporated into Italy.
The genetic causes, ethnic origins and history of red hair

“Sicilians are a big mixture of ethnic backgrounds.”
You have a talent for understatement !.....LOL....
And some of us choose to be redheads. I’m very pale Irish, blue gray eyes, w/a natural hair color of blue black. I was basically born looking Goth. In my early teens, just like most of my relatives (we were a walking group of recessive genes) I started going gray. I also started playing with hair color. I found with my natural skin/eye color warm, mid to darker reds work the best. LOreal 6R covers my grays really well. I call it better living thru chemistry.
My favorite redhead is on the Cars Candy-O album cover.
Isn’t David Wenham a red-head, or sort of blondish-red? (Faramir from Lord of the Rings).
She should have seen the scene in True Romance where Dennis Hopper laid out the heritage of Sicilians to Sicilian mobster Christopher Walken.

Best dialogue in movie history. Pure gold.
