HISTORY Human presence in Italy dates back to the Palaeolithic period some 200,000 years ago whilst several Greek colonies were established along the coast of Sicily in the
7th and 8th centuries BC.
This area was densely inhabited by the Greeks who formed agricultural communities which grew to encompass much of the Mediterranean Sea.
The Gauls roamed in the mountainous north while the Etruscans, a group from western Turkey, settled in central Italy and established a number of city states and created bold architecture; paved streets, aqueducts and stone arches.
According to legend Rome was founded in 753BC by Romulus and Remus, twin brothers who claimed to be the sons of war god Mars. Apparently Romulus wanted Rome to inherit the mantle of ancient city Troy and when Remus laughed at the notion, Romulus killed his brother and declared himself king of Rome.
