from the pdf :
Archaeological and historical data suggest that during the Early Iron Age (ninth/eighth centuries BCE, BeforeCommon Era), Umbrians were among the frst communities with strong and well-defned cultural identities in Central Italy, together with Etruscans (to the west), Picentes (to the east) and Samnites (to the south). They originally occupied the eastern part of the today’s Umbria region, placed on the left bank of the Tiber River,soon extending their territories in western Umbria and Tuscany. Around the sixth century BCE, the Etruscans,who had already begun to infuence the Umbrian culture, took control over the western territories and the Tiber became the natural border between Umbrians and Etruscans 39. The degree of interaction between these ancient populations is still unclear.

Well, in terms of uniparentals it would indeed seem so. Maternally, my mtDna is U2e2a, and my father carried R1b U-152, so it's a double hit.
