I believe Italians have their physical appearance due to their history. You cited Hannibal's invasion of the peninsula, but that would have been diluted in time. Instead, look at the long history of the Roman Empire, which extended through Northern Africa and the Middle East. Keep in mind Renaissance Italy's flourishing trade with the Middle East and China. I believe Italy's long trade history with the Middle East gave the peninsula a strong trace of Arab blood; most dark-skinned Italians more closely resemble Arabs than blacks.
