History of Italy
The
history of Italy
begins with the arrival of the first
hominins
850,000 years ago at
Monte Poggiolo
.
Italy
shows evidence of habitation by
anatomically modern humans
beginning about 43,000 years ago. It is reached by the
Neolithic
as early as 6000 BC (
Cardium Pottery
in
Coppa Nevigata
). The
Italian Bronze Age
begins around 1500 BC, likely corresponding to the arrival of
Indo-European speakers
whose descendants would become the
Italic peoples
of the Iron Age; alongside the early Italic cultures, however, the
Etruscan civilization
in central Italy and
Greek colonies
in the south flourished during 8th to 5th centuries BC.
