>...Etruscans coming from Anatolia

In addition to the traditions that Etruscans came from Anatolia, and Romans
came from Troy, there is a tradition that the Trojans themselves originated
in Italy!   Iasius was the brother of Dardanus, and both were believed to
have travelled from Italy to Samothrace, then to Troy, where they founded
the Trojan race.  You'll see a reference to it in Vergil, Aeneid 3:168.
