The Celtic madlads had a great time there for awhile, storming all over Europe. Sacking Rome, kicking Etruscan ass, breaking into Greece and looting oracles, even getting as far as Anatolia. Generally making a nuisance of themselves. But what goes around comes around. Remember that next time someone wants you to cry about what happened when the Mediterranean world finally paid them a return visit.Â

But northern Italy was Celt territory too.
So geographically they were Italians too (even though the peninsula was called Italia only after the Romans unified it).
So we can say that they spoke Italian (even though the language wasn’t invented yet).
