Although generally somewhat darker in skin color than northern Europeans, Italians have been included among the "Whites" when such racist designations were an important part of the social structure.

Yes, Sicilians are generally considered to be Caucasian as they are of European descent. However, Sicily has been influenced by various cultures throughout history, including North African and Middle Eastern, so there is some genetic diversity among Sicilian people.

Race is no longer a supported way to classify populations in mainstream science, therefore there is no "scientific" answer to your question. Most people in the US would consider Sicilians White/"Caucasian", however.

The racial classification of people is similar to the RGB classification of colors. That is, we cannot say about ordinary natural colors that they are pure "red" or "blue" or something like that. And it would be correct to say that this flower is 80% red, 15% green and 5% blue.

The racial "colors" are "Baltic", "Equatorial" and "Asian". It seems that Sicilians are about 90% Baltic + 10% Equatorial + 0% Asian

Italians are western Europeans and are considered white (caucasian), even the swarthy ones.
