It's a Manifesto signed by many "scientists" and published by the fascist government in Italy on 1938.
The manifesto it's said to have been written by Mussolini itself.
Basically it says Italians are a race, mostly aryan, they have nothing to do with Jews and Middleasterners, and should proclaim themselves racist and interbreed only with other Europeans. The language is somewhat ambiguos, but it pays sort of lip services to nordicism. anyway it stresses the point of the European race and that Italians must preserve their "europeanness".
I think it looks very silly even for the knowledge of race they had at the time.

I'm assuming this didnt go for southern italy, which is thought of as the crap of Italy.. but are what most italian-americans are.
Northern italians are often fairskinned and/or blonde.

You assume what? Obviously the manifesto was referring to the whole nation.
Also obviously it can't "go" for any part of any nation, as the concept of "aryan" and "Italians" are both racially meaningless. However if you take a look at C. Sforza maps you will see that Italians from South and North cluster more togheter and with Spaniards than with Germans and French.
The "manifesto" is very simplistic, silly and wrong, and has only historical interest, not per se; same goes with your comment, substituting historical with sociologic.
