I take on again, about general problems of evaluating demic contributions in the making of ancient and today populations - often enough I read Romans carried Y-E1b + Y-J2 + maybe some Y-G2a...
Roman people was a mixture yet + true italic people came from North and the Osco-Ombrian ones (surely arrived with the beginning of Villanova culture) carried also Y-R1b (the majority, I guess, was R-U152/S28) + the roman legions was made of a lot of foreign people taken among the tribes Roma vainquished, often among the VERY people of the lands Roma occupied even if it's surprising for us- So it's very difficult to guess the true weight of the Roma armies in genetics, I think - surely the bulk of "true" roman (civil) citizens firstable settled the closer regions and countries - (for J,G, E, it would be necessary to have the details of the SNPs and STRs in play)
i do not understand your meaning of arrived with the beginning of Villanova culture.
The aboriginal cultures of italy are 4 only.
ligurian in all of northern italy
umbrian from the po river down to rome
osci from rome and the rest of mainland italy and the
sicels of sicily.
etruscans, romans, veneti, greek, illyrian, lombards, celts etc etc are all immigrants.
the romans are descendent from a southern etruscan tribe
the term osco-umbrian reflects all of mainland italy except north of the po river
