Another thing, Corsica has 49% R1B, which is very likely mostly R1B-M269.
Sardinia has a history which is based on the reality, that Roman Empire conquered them.
No idea if the current Sardinian language is related to old Sardinia language.
EDIT:
New genetic testing shows without any doubt that Romans/Latin speakers were very,very clearly from the Celto-Italic people and spread R1B:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_history_of_Italy#Y-DNA_genetic_diversity
In the village of Garfagnana from Tuscany, R1B is 76.2%.
Also, there is significant I1 in Italy, from the Germanic people that mixed with Italo-Celtic Romans and gave modern Italy population.
In two villages from Lazio, it was recorded I1 of 35% and 28%.
So, we Romanians clearly speak a Celto_Italic language, but we do not have so much R1B as someone would expect.
Another paternal line that should have belonged to original Italic Romans seems to be J2.What branch I have no idea.
Now J2 is quite diverse in Europe.
