Italians

There are two main groups: the Latino-Faliska language group ( Latiner , Falisker ) and the Oscar - Umbrian language group ( Osker , Umbrer , Samnite ). Some researchers suggest that it was around 1200 to 1000 BC. Immigrated to Italy from the north via the Alps. Since the 4th century BC BC Rome subjugated the remaining Italians.
