From the red hair I would guess they were celtic or related to them. I remember vaguely there was a group of Celts that invaded and fought the locals, I am not positive of the timing. They may have come later.

There were Celts (Cisalpine Gauls) south of the Alps, but they weren't the Etruscans. The Celtic languages are Indoeuropean; Etruscan is an isolate.

The Celts/Gauls were later invaders and occupiers of Northern Italy. They fought both Etruscans and Romans.
