It appears that ancient Romans and Etruscans clustered with present day Spaniards more than they did with modern Italians.
The reason for that is that present day Italians received a large amount of near eastern DNA, which means that modern Italians are not really Europeans but halfway between Europe and the Levant. Southern Italians are in fact closer genetically to Lebanese than to even other southern Europeans. Meanwhile Spaniards even in spite of the muslim invasion remained largely the same genetically hence why they are closer.
