The ancestors of modern Italians are not a specific nation, but a mixture of many nationalities.

Before the establishment of Rome, there were many different nationalities in Apennine Peninsula, such as Latin, Sabine, Serus and so on. The early Roman city was ruled by Cyrus and later overthrown by Latin. "Rome" itself is not a nation, but a multi-ethnic fusion in Italy. With the expansion of empire, empire and empire period, Rome absorbed many national elements, such as Thracians, Greeks, Samoans and Jews. But Italy is mainly Rome. In the 5th century, Rome began to decline, barbarians invaded one after another, and many Germanic countries were established on the former land of the Roman Empire. For example, ostrogoths established a kingdom in Italy, the Franks occupied Gaul, and the Vandals seized North Africa. At this time, Italians blended in Germanic elements-mainly Goths. Later, Lombardy invaded, Frank's dwarves Pippin and Charlemagne attacked Italy, and Norman from northern Europe invaded, which increased the national composition of Italy. In addition, Muslims invaded Italy, occupied Sicily, Crete and other places, and established the Emir of Bahrain and other regimes. So the ethnic composition of Italy (mainly Sicily and other places) includes Arabs and Berbers. So the Italian nation "Italians" mentioned now is actually the result of the integration of many nationalities, such as Latin adherents, Greeks, Goths, Franks, Vikings, Saracens and so on. "Italian" is closer to a geographical concept than a concept of blood.
