Around 2000 B.C., Indo-Europeans settled the Italian peninsula where Italy exists now. Recall that "Indo-Europeans" is a very general classification that includes peoples stretching all the way from India to Europe, and who spoke any of dozens of Indo-European languages, including Sanskrit in India, Persian in the Middle East, Slavic in Eastern Europe and Germanic, Italic and Celtic languages in Europe. The Roman empire traces its roots to these Indo-Europeans just as India does.
