What are the dominant racial strains here?

A mixture of Alpine, Dinaric and Mediterranean typical of southern Europe. The Alpine element seems particularly strong.

Heh. Are you sure you're not saying that because the priest has a head like a bull mastiff?

Ignoring the priest, would you still say that the Alpine strain is strong?

Yes, the priest makes an impression for sure. A couple of the old boys (the ones with shiny foreheads that look quite similar) look mostly Alpine too. It is more difficult to say in the females but I see some fair hair which is most likely of Alpine origin.

These people look like central to south European. Predominantly Alpinid. If I have to guess ethnicity, I'd bet on Croatians.

Those people are from south-central Italy. Now, while they are far from being 'atypical', it would be incorrect to say that their phenotype is homogeneous with the rest of the region.

Here are some other pictures from the very same village which gives a broader scope:

Most are Alpine in the pictures above and some Mediterranid. Maybe one or two Dinarids.

In the picture following the Mediterranid element is stronger but still a stron Alpine and a very weak Dinarid element.

If you want to see pure Mediterranids look in the thread of Silveira of Portuguese people.

Than decide by yourself if all pictured people in your photographs are Mediterranid...not just the priest.
