Most of the padanists are not, simply we have a little but not meaningless asatru minority as well as some people who are still in love with the habsburg empire and Mitteleuropa. The latter are concentrated mostly in the Trentino region that was well ruled by the austrians, who were well accepted, unlike in Lombardy ad Veneto. Also,a s far as origins are concerned, venetians are more related to southern austrians and slovenians than we can think of, sure. In both cases northern italians share a non mediterranean ancestry, as of the central italy we have still a good mix of real latins and celtic tribes, as well as the first waves of mediterraneans. In the south things can vary also from region tor egion, Puglia is populated with some heavy strains of germanic settlers from medieval times and als early settlers who were similar to northern italians, just like in Abruzzo People from such regions often mingle very well with northern italians becoming often indistinguishable from the second generation.
