Adamo is partly correct.....the J2 in romagna ( ravenna , rimini etc ) area is basically due to the extermination of all gallic ( senoni tribe ) people by the Romans and replacing them with South Latnium families.
I suspect that in the interior the Gallic/Celtic Boii tribe around Bologna suffered the same fate............this would have occured between the 2nd and 3rd carthagian wars, IIRC
.......and of course the story does not end there and probably reversed at some point. There has been a sequence of Germanic invasions and settlements from the North. Tuscany probably had high J2 HG prior to Roman invasions. This is apart the vague descriptions. So it makes the whole reply to Matera incorrect and misleading with present day knowledge most of it already available in 16/4/2013 :grin:
