"Before Rome's rule spread over all of Italy, the southern, central and northern regions of the peninsula had each known different cultures. In the south, the Greek colonies left their mark on artistic production, while leaving room for indigenous art. In the center, the highly developed civilization of the Etruscans was bordered by the more primitive civilizations of the Samnites and Picenians; the latter particularly exposed to transadriatic influences. In the North, the culture of the Veneti touched, on the one hand, those of the Illyrians and inhabitants of the Danube regions, and on the other, those of the Celts and Ligurians. All these cultures constituted a reality that the Roman conquerors encountered and which was not always immediately erased under their domination."--WorldCat, translated.
