This guy is a midwit that knows almost nothing about archaeogenetics besides making these stupid G25 maps. He's Paolo Sizzi's protege if you want to call him that. He used to say Northern Italy was almost 100% ANF WHG and EEF and only Southern Italians have exotic components like CHG in any significant amount because he ignored all the papers on Northern Italy showing they could be modeled with over 10% Iran_N in favor of G25. And he used to want some stupid alliance with Iberians against Southern Italians. He threw a tantrum when someone made a qpadm model of Southern Italy as 60% Imperial Roman started calling Iberians siesta taking moors with sub saharan DNA. There are some other funny things about him too like he said Etruscans were Italic and Celts of Northern Italy were celticized Italics and now says the exact opposite.

Padanatolians are just not taking the truth about their genetics well, they are not some continuous Celtic population but mostly Northern shifted Imperial Romans that obtained additional admixture from Northern Europe from the Barbarian invasions. All the years of saying the terroni were Anatolian-Levantines and larping Celts even though they had this exact same DNA. Seeing their meltdown gives me and anyone else who is familiar with their antics such immense enjoyment. The cope is now that in Northern Italy this shift was caused entirely by Greeks but in Southern Italy it was Anatolians and Levantines from MENA.

And no the 25% isn't Imperial Romans. The 25% is just the isolated Eastern Mediterranean component. They are even more Imperial Roman than that when you account for the fact that actual ethnic Imperials were a mix of Italic and Eastern Mediterranean.
