The genetic history of Italy includes information around the formation, ethnogenesis, and other DNA-specific information about the inhabitants of Italy. Modern Italians mostly descend from the ancient peoples of Italy, including Indo-European speakers (Romans and other Latins, Falisci, Picentes, Umbrians, Samnites, Oscans, Sicels, Elymians, Messapians and Adriatic Veneti, as well as Magno-Greeks, Cisalpine Gauls and Illyric Iapygians) and pre-Indo-European speakers (Etruscans, Ligures, Rhaetians Camunni, Sicani, Nuragic peoples), as well as settlers from Phoenicia and Carthage in Sardinia and in the westernmost part of Sicily. Other groups migrated into Italy as a result of the Roman Empire, when the Italian peninsula attracted people from the various regions of the empire (North Africa, West Asia and the rest of Europe),[2] and during the Middle Ages with the arrival of Ostrogoths, Longobards, Franks, Saracens and Normans among others. Based on DNA analysis, there is evidence of regional genetic substructure and continuity within modern Italy dating back to antiquity.[3][4][5][6]
In their admixture ratios, Italians are similar to other Southern Europeans, and that is being of primarily Neolithic Early European Farmer ancestry, along with smaller, but still significant, amounts of Mesolithic Western Hunter-Gatherer, Bronze Age Steppe pastoralist (Indo-European speakers) and Chalcolithic or Bronze Age Iranian/Caucasus-related ancestry.[4][7][8][9][10][4] According to multiple genome-wide studies Southern Italians are closest to modern Greeks,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][10] while Northern Italians are closest to the Spaniards, the Portuguese and to a lesser extent people from Southern France.[11][18][20][21][22][17][23][24][25][26][19][27] There is also Bronze/Iron Age Anatolian admixture in Italy, with a much lower incidence in Northern Italy compared with Central Italy and Southern Italy.[24][8] Marginal levels (0.1-4%) of North African admixture is also found in Southern Italy with the highest incidence being in the islands of Sicily and Sardinia.[24][8][4]
