Alberto Piazza of the University of Turin linked the Etruscans to Turkey. The team compared DNA sequences with those from men in modern Turkey, northern Italy, the Greek island of Lemnos, the Italian islands of Sicily and Sardinia and the southern Balkans. They found that the genetic sequences of the Tuscan men varied significantly from those of men in surrounding regions in Italy, and were most closely related to those of men from Murlo and Volterra in Turkey. In Murlo in particular, one genetic variant is shared only by people from Turkey. The study was presented at the European Society of Human Genetics in Nice, France.[22]
It has been suggested that, should the link to the Turkey prove to be correct, that the Etruscans originated from the Hittite Empire. As this empire was split at the height of it's powers rather than at it's nadir, it is entirely possible that a large number of Hittites migrated to Italy and formed their own kingdom.

you're just looking for excuses to be an arseyeah speak it too (congratulate me on that too Andy) but i've gotta say that its less common for Italians born in foreign countries to speak it. In Melbourne there are tons of Greeks (the second most Greek populated city in the world to Athens), Russians, Croatians etc. and they all seem to have more of a sense of nationalistic pride than Italians here. I mean, they all eat the same food, play/watch the same sport, but the parents don't stress things like language and "being italian".
