Coon's mistake was that he thought the Villanova culture to be Italic, when it was almost certainly Etruscan.

Regardless, they branched from the Urnfield culture, which is ultimately what Coon was referring to. There is a disconnect there which is definitely confusing though. Perhaps the migrants from Urnfield simply took the language of the proto-Etruscans when they arrived in Tuscany.
At the time Coon published his work this was the consensus. Nowadays I think the mostly nomadic Apennine culture with its connections to the Balkans seems like a better candidate for the origin of the Italics. It starts 1500 B.C., 200 years after the predicted Italic-Celtic split in Chang et al. .
Central European influence definitely reached as far south as Latium and probably brought with it significant admixture, but I don't think that's how Italic languages got to Italy.

Tomei's parents are both of Italian descent; her father's ancestors came from Tuscany, Calabria, and Campania; while her mother's ancestors are from Tuscany and Sicily.
