A focused population profile of Campanians, their southern Italian background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Campanians are people from Campania in southern Italy, including Naples, Caserta, Salerno, Avellino, Benevento, the Amalfi coast, and inland Apennine areas. Campanian history includes ancient Greek colonies, Oscan and Roman Campania, Byzantine and Norman periods, the Kingdom of Naples, Spanish rule, and modern southern Italian identity.
Italian is the national language, while Neapolitan and Campanian dialects are central to regional culture. Campania should be read as a southern Italian profile, distinct from central and northern Italian averages.
As a genetic reference, Italian Campania Campanian is useful for comparison with Naples, Caserta, Basilicata, Sicilian West, Apulia, Greek Cyclades, Greek Euboea, Greek Italy Apulia, and other southern Italian or eastern Mediterranean references.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Italian Campania (Campanian) is Italian Campania Caserta (Campanian). Other nearby references include Italian Campania Naples (Campanian), Italian Basilicata (Lucanian), Italian Sicily West (Sicilian), and Greek Cyclades Andros. This gives the Italian Campania (Campanian) profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Campanian is best interpreted as a southern Italian profile, close to Naples/Caserta, Basilicata, Sicily, Apulia, and Aegean Greek references.
The heatmap should emphasize Campania, Naples, Caserta, Basilicata, Apulia, Sicily, the Cyclades, Euboea, and the southern Italian/eastern Mediterranean zone.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Italian Campania Caserta (Campanian). Other nearby references include Italian Campania Naples (Campanian), Italian Basilicata (Lucanian), Italian Sicily West (Sicilian), and Greek Cyclades Andros.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Italian Campania Caserta (Campanian) is the closest listed match to the Italian Campania (Campanian) average after removing Italian Campania (Campanian) itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Italian Campania (Campanian) G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
