The Italian peninsula experienced an invasion from peoples from Northern Europe though,a people known as Etrucans . .
In time those two groups must have conglomerated.
( such origins would also be checkable by examining the language )
So . . . the Romans had the philosopher-spirit of the Mediterranean peoples in them as well as , gotta say , the warlike-ness of a Northern-European tribe . .

The Mediterranean whites weren't warlike ...pfffttt
The Latin tribes migrated from the area of Southern Germany in antiquity and eventually genocided the Etruscans (who were already settled in Italy) on their way down the Italian peninsula ...where did you learn your history dog?
The Etruscans didn't speak a IndoEuropean language ...they weren't related to the Latins, Germans and Celts who all came from the Danube Valley.
It's unknown where they came from, I think they might have been related to todays Basques or the people who inhabited the Med area before our ancestors moved in, or Semitic sea peoples ...?
