Well, that they were related to some peoples that may have existed in Anatolia and Greece, the “Pelasgians” who populated that region before the arrival of the Indo-European speaking ancestors of the Greeks. Its possible, IMHO, that these pre-Aryan native cultures of the northern Med extended to Northern Italy.

The Etruscans had some badass helmets and armor in a style that is sort of proto-Roman.

***It turns out the enigmatic Etruscans were local to the area***

That was the ancient view, and since they were much closer to the problem, I'd go with that.
Their language appears to have been rooted in the e Med, DNA research on their midden heaps show that their livestock had roots from the e Med, even their tombs echo the carved tombs of the Aegean. Their trade and cultural links were with the e Med (particularly the Ionian Greeks and the Phoenicians, and with their Carthaginian kindred).
Also I wonder where all this supposed Etruscan DNA came from, considering that, AFAIK, they really preferred cremation.

The implication is, they’d all come from a Bronze Age era overland migration.

Making none of the later dominant groups on the Italian peninsula were “locals” as in “local origins”. Their social groups replaced whatever groups were there when they arrived.

It’ll be amusing if Neolithic DNA from Italy turns out to have common markers with these purported samples from classical antiquity.
