Hiii! I'm an Italian girl and one month ago I took a DNA test with MyHeritage!
My whole family (both sides) is from Campania (50 km from Naples).
I am definitely shocked by these results. First of all, I was expecting a higher Iberian percentage since people often tell me I look somewhat Spanish. And coming from the South, I was expecting much more Greek!! I'm probably the only Italian with such a small Greek percentage 😱
And what about that West Asia result?? Can someone explain how I got that?

Italian 59,7%
Iberian 5,9%
Greek and South Italian 4,0%
North and West European 3,9%
Irish, Scottish and Welsh 1,7%
West Asia 16,0%
Middle East 8,8%

Can someone help me understand these results? Why is there so much Jewish while MyHeritage doesn't say anything about it?
