COLLEGNO – Yet another bitter defeat for Abc, who literally let the two points slip away in Collegno. A defeat that will make the Valdelsano path in the play-outs even more complex. In a match characterized by great offensive intensity, the key were the errors in the rearguard, but not only. An Abc that, more than once, lacked the bite to try to 'bite' the challenge, thus remaining at the mercy of the local verve.
The findings, published in a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)
were initially made up of multiple families with distinct genetic ancestries
these families intermarried and the local communities integrated genetically diverse newcomers from a variety of different social and cultural backgrounds
archaeological and isotopic data to shed light on the community that used a cemetery in Collegno
as a burial site during the 6th to 8th centuries CE
Researchers sequenced and analyzed the genomes of 28 individuals from the cemetery and incorporated data from 24 previously published genomes
They also studied individuals’ patterns of social mobility
“When the Roman Empire collapsed, we did not really know much about how new communities formed, yet many of these communities would go on to be the basis for modern European countries,” explained Veeramah, director of The Veeramah Lab
which is dedicated the study of evolutionary genomics
“Our study reveals that these elites were genetically surprisingly diverse
and in the process of creating new European communities in the medieval era
families with diverse genetic ancestry would come together to form ruling groups.”
“In 2018, our team published a paper that demonstrated genomic and cultural similarities between Collegno and Szólád
a village in modern Hungary that showed a significant correspondence between individuals with a northern European ancestry in both,” said Patrick Geary of the Institute for Advanced Study
“Our new study follows the transformation of this Italian community over a century
and shows how new groups moved into and merged with the existing inhabitants.”
The researchers discovered that the Collegno community was initially established by and organized around a network of closely related individuals
they evolved into a single extended lineage spanning at least five generations
Veeramah and colleagues believe individuals from this lineage had a higher ranking in society based on their richer diets and heavily detailed
and likely more expensively made items they were buried with
The findings also show that while the Collegno community was initially established by these elite families
the community later incorporated individuals from other origins and genetic backgrounds into it

Recent genetic research led by Krishna Veeramah
an associate professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolution at Stony Brook University
has shed new light on the social dynamics and community formation in post-Roman Europe
This international study of ancient DNA provides vital insights into how early medieval elites in Europe
composed initially of several distinct genetic families
evolved into powerful lineages as they integrated with local populations
Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)
the findings highlight a significant shift in the social structure during the centuries that followed the fall of the Roman Empire
The research indicates that these early medieval elites
culminating in the formation of unified power groups
This genetic blending not only reinforced social ties among the elite but also enabled the integration of newcomers from various cultural backgrounds into burgeoning rural communities
focusing on a cemetery located in Collegno
which served as a burial site between the 6th and 8th centuries CE
By sequencing and analyzing the genomes of 28 individuals from the site
alongside data from 24 previously published genomes
the researchers gained insights into social mobility patterns
Veeramah remarked on the significance of their findings
we knew very little about how new communities formed
many of these would become the foundations of modern European nations
Our study reveals that these elites were genetically surprisingly diverse
families with diverse genetic ancestries came together to form power groups
the team had already established genomic and cultural similarities between Collegno and Szólád
where individuals showed significant genetic correspondence rooted in Northern Europe
This latest research tracks the transformation of the Italian community over a century
illustrating how new groups migrated and merged with existing residents
The study found that the initial community in Collegno was organized around a closely-knit network of related individuals
this network evolved into a single extended lineage spanning at least five generations
The higher social rank of individuals within this lineage appears to be correlated with a wealthier diet and detailed burial artifacts
including elaborately crafted items such as weapons and ornate belts
while the Collegno community was initially established by elite families
it later absorbed individuals from diverse genetic backgrounds
This gradual incorporation hints at the fluidity of social structures in medieval Europe
challenging rigid views of class and genetic lineage

The Italy-Cuba National Friendship Association (ANAIC) paid tribute to Commander Ernesto Che Guevara on the 57th anniversary of his death with an event held in the northern city of Collegno
The ceremony took place the day before on Che Guevara Square
which is dedicated to his memory in that town in the Province of Turin
and was attended by members of the association
The event was attended by Matteo Cavallone
President of the National Association of Italian Partisans in that city; Tiziana Manzi
Secretary of the local circle of the ANAIC; and Fidel Ajuria
representing the Consulate General of Cuba in Milan
Cavalloni emphasized that these difficult times need figures like Che Guevara
who was assassinated in Bolivia on October 9
Papacci recounted passages from the life of Che Guevara’s struggle for a better world
He also referred to the difficult situation Cuba is going through as the result of the intensification of the US economic
He demanded the end to it as well as the exclusion of the Caribbean nation from Washington’s terrorism list
"There is only one result to achieve - said Betti (pictured above) before yesterday's training - and that is to win to reach the seasonal goal. The team has trained well these days, we started again with desire after the victory in Gallarate. But the pace today does not count, we know well how much today's challenge counts and we are focused only on that. I hope we will take up the good things done in the last match and not make the mistakes of the last one at home against Serravezza".
The company has announced that for tonight's match scheduled for 21pm in Viale Sclavo against Collegno, the ticket office will be open from 20pm. For those who cannot be present at the sports hall, the match will be broadcast live and exclusively on Starplane, free of charge for season ticket holders and at a cost of 10 euros for non-season ticket holders.
Metrics details
much about the barbarian migrations that took place between the fourth and sixth centuries in Europe remains hotly debated
To better understand this key era that marks the dawn of modern European societies
we obtained ancient genomic DNA from 63 samples from two cemeteries (from Hungary and Northern Italy) that have been previously associated with the Longobards
a barbarian people that ruled large parts of Italy for over 200 years after invading from Pannonia in 568 CE
Our dense cemetery-based sampling revealed that each cemetery was primarily organized around one large pedigree
suggesting that biological relationships played an important role in these early medieval societies
we identified genetic structure in each cemetery involving at least two groups with different ancestry that were very distinct in terms of their funerary customs
our data are consistent with the proposed long-distance migration from Pannonia to Northern Italy
Were specific barbarian peoples described in texts culturally and ethnically homogeneous populations
or were they ad-hoc and opportunistic confederations of diverse
being that of close kinship relations or long-term shared ancestry
play in the organization of these barbarian communities and how are such relationships related to patterns of material culture
Did this period involve long-distance migrations as described by late-antique authors
Numerous sixth to seventh century archeological cemeteries in Pannonia and Italy contain broadly similar grave goods and burial customs, a pattern consistent with the historical account of a Longobard migration. In this study we generate paleogenomic data for 63 individuals from two of these cemeteries, Szólád in western Hungary and Collegno in northern Italy (Fig. 1a)
We note that we are not aiming to infer Lombard ethnicity
Our approach is unique in that we attempted to genomically characterize all of the interred individuals
rather than sampling individuals based on certain material culture markers
Combined with evidence of material culture
our approach provides an unparalleled image of the social organization of these historical communities
and begins to shed new light on possible movements within Europe during this period
we considered 33 and 22 samples from Szólád and Collegno for downstream analysis
respectively (three and one samples from Szólád and Collegno had fewer than 30,000 usable SNPs
and CL36 were found not to belong to the same occupation period as the other samples)
Principal component analysis of Szólád and Collegno

larger circle is median of individuals) along with samples from Szólád (filled circles)
Collegno (filled triangles) and other Migration Period samples
Szólád and Collegno samples are filled with colors based on estimated ancestry from ADMIXTURE

Genetic structure of Szólád and Collegno
Model-based ancestry estimates from ADMIXTURE for Szólád (a) and Collegno (b) using 1000 Genomes Project Eurasian and YRI populations to supervise analysis
Note that high contamination was identified in CL31 and overlaid with a pink hue in b
with greatest EEF ancestry in those individuals demonstrating similarities to modern southern Europeans and greater WHG + SA ancestry in those that resembled modern northern Europeans (with WHG being predominant in northwest Europe and SA in northeast Europe)
Bronze Age populations and Hungarian Scythians from the third to sixth centuries BCE are diverse
with most sharing similarity with modern southern Europeans
though a minority are found in close proximity to the central/northern samples from Szólád and Collegno in the PCA
we suggest that based on modern and Bronze Age data
the high CEU + GBR ancestry observed in both Szólád and in particular Collegno is unusual
Numbers indicate generations (1 being the oldest
This latter individual would probably have been female
as while SZ14 has a similar Y chromosome to SZ13 and SZ22
both siblings possess a different mtDNA type to their uncle's (I3 vs
with N individuals presenting graves with wooden elements
as opposed to simple pits (more common amongst graves with S individuals)
though samples represented in black are those lacking genomic data
the 87Sr/86Sr values of each ancestry group are arranged in ascending order
This appears to fit a model of individuals of central/northern European ancestry migrating and settling in Collegno amongst a set of local individuals of primarily Italian origin
The most striking feature of our data is the inference of two main clusters of genetic ancestry that are shared amongst our two sixth- to seventh-century cemeteries separated by almost 1000 km
In both Szólád and Collegno this genetic structure mirrors the variation that emerges from their mortuary practices
how living members of the community represented the individuals that they buried
This perhaps suggests that in these two cemeteries there may indeed have been a biological basis to the notion that long-term shared common descent can shape social identity and that this is reflected in the material culture
whether the association between genetic ancestry and material culture reflects specific peoples mentioned in historical texts (i.e.
Longobards) or stemmed from a deeper/long-term descent (of mixed barbarian ancestries) is as yet unclear
Future research may reveal how widespread such a link between ancestry and material culture was in the Migration Period
Our genomic characterization of Szólád and Collegno provides novel insight into the structures and hierarchies of societies from the Migration Period in two very different contexts
a previous study of Szólád had identified this cemetery as belonging to a highly mobile community that was settled in the region for approximately one generation
We were able to show in particular that the burials in this cemetery were organized around a three-generation kindred with ten members (Kindred SZ1)
all but one of which were of predominantly central/northern ancestry
Members of this kindred stand out in relation to others for a number of reasons: (i) access to diet higher in animal protein; (ii) graves occupying a prominent position in the cemetery; (iii) the presence of the oldest individual in the cemetery (SZ24); and (iv) the individual (SZ13) with the deepest grave and the only one buried with a horse
Surrounding this kindred within the area demarcated by the half-ring of women there are ten males
Of the nine for which we have genetic data
all have predominantly central/northern European genetic ancestry but some have both additional TSI and IBS ancestry (for example SZ5)
suggesting a somewhat diverse genetic makeup and thus possibly different geographic origins from each other and compared to the focal Kindred SZ1
and three out of four adults share the same non-local Sr signature as adults in Kindred SZ1
The half-ring of women itself is made up of a mixture of individuals (ten adults and one child)
with five that have predominantly central/northern ancestry and three that have majority TSI + IBS ancestry
They also have a wide range of strontium isotope ratios
The female SZ19 in this half-ring is part of Kindred SZ1
She lacks the ledge graves of the other members
To what extent her lack of IBD with SZ24 and her different ancestry contributed to her more peripheral burial compared to both the female SZ8 (who is buried within the core) and the male SZ15 (who is similarly unrelated to SZ24 but again found within the core) is an open question
The remaining part of this community for which we have genomic data (N = 7) is composed of individuals of mainly southern European genetic ancestry that are conspicuously lacking grave goods and occupy the southeastern part of the cemetery; they were buried in randomly oriented graves with straight walls
While the lack of grave goods does not necessarily imply that these individuals were of lower status
it does point to them belonging to a different social group
The strontium isotope data suggest that they may have migrated together with the warrior-based group from outside Szólád
but barriers to gene flow were largely maintained
Collegno likely reflects a community that settled for multiple generations
organization around at least one large extended immigrant kindred once again seems to have been a key element of social organization
with the kindred spreading outwards from the center point of the cemetery over time
There is also one other significant immigrant kindred of a different genetic origin and material culture that also holds a central position in the cemetery
for this first period of occupation at least
these two groups appear to remain distinct genetically
we find evidence of only one other individual (CL63) of predominant central/northern ancestry who does not belong to the major kindred unit (though our sampling of this cemetery is not as complete as Szólád)
individuals of southern ancestry of the type that would typically be found in the region today appear to be local to the Collegno area based on isotope data
show much more scattered burials and are poorer with regard to grave goods and animal protein consumption
As such it is tempting to infer a scenario of these large immigrant barbarian families exerting a dominating influence on the original resident population
It is surprising to find significant diversity within small
Even amongst the two family groups of primarily central/northern ancestry there is clear evidence of admixture with individuals with more southern ancestry
Whether these people identified as Longobard or any other particular barbarian people is therefore impossible to assess
If we are seeing evidence of movements of barbarians
there is no evidence that these were genetically homogenous groups of people
We have observed an intriguing association between genetic evidence
isotope data and material culture that sheds new light on the social organization of sixth-century communities during both migration and settlement phases
A key aspect of our approach is the in-depth sampling of entire cemeteries
We propose that this is a conceptual and methodological advance: in the future one must use a similar whole cemetery-based genomic methodology to explore whether the results observed here are common to other sites from late antiquity and the early middle ages
The genetic complexity observed within these cemeteries presents a new set of questions concerning population structure within past societies
if the genetic similarity we observe between Szólád and Collegno appears in other contemporary cemeteries
we will be able to better appreciate the extent and dynamics of these movements and of the invasion of barbarian peoples across the Roman Empire
we made pseudo-haploid calls by randomly drawing one allele from a diploid genotype
In addition to using the allele frequencies of the ancient samples themselves
we also adapted the software to utilize allele frequencies from other sources
in this case the CEU and TSI 1000 Genomes populations
Supervised and unsupervised model-based clustering was performed using ADMIXTURE30
target Migration Period samples were analyzed individually (to avoid the effects of relatedness) or together (using a set of unrelated individuals that maximized SNP number)
D-statistic analysis as described in Patterson et al.50 was performed using custom Python software that allowed multithreading
We applied the software SPA51 to analyze the POPRES imputed SNP dataset
We also further extended the software to allow the use of pseudo-haploid calls in our ancient samples
and to infer the location of one parent of an admixed individual given the known location of another parent
Analysis was performed using both pseudo-haploid calls and diploid genotypes
The lack of base calls due to the absence of reads at a position in a particular sample was resolved either as an ancestral or derived allele by a hierarchical inferential method according to the phylogenetic context based on a cladistics approach
The phylogenetically informative SNPs were used to build a parsimony-based phylogenetic tree using the Pars application of the Phylip v3.69 package
FigTree v1.4.2 software was used to display the generated tree
Faunal samples were taken from six species from a third-/fourth-century site in Piazza Castello in Turin to provide an ecological baseline for human diet

An international research team with the participation of the Austrian Academy of Sciences has deciphered genetic traces of the Lombards in northern Italy
The analysis of the Collegno cemetery near Turin provides information about the genetic mixing between the Lombards and local Italians - and shows how immigration and integration shaped northern Italy's elites
the Lombards moved from what is now western Hungary and eastern Austria to Italy
which had previously been part of the Eastern Roman Empire
They founded a kingdom in northern Italy that lasted for almost 200 years
in which various groups took part under Lombard leadership
But how was the new ruling class integrated into the Christian
how were the locals accepted into the new ruling class
New archaeogenetic findings are now shedding light on this question
An international research team of the EU research project HistoGenes
coordinated by the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW), has investigated the genetic traces of the Lombards in the Collegno cemetery near Turin
The results of this interdisciplinary research have now been published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)
the warrior elite of the Lombards buried their dead with representative grave goods: Weapons and multi-piece
garment brooches and other jewelry among the women were considered an expression of their high social status
Genetic studies confirmed that the majority of the people buried in Collegno came from the north. However
the analyses also revealed that one of the founding families was predominantly of Mediterranean
whose graves were also furnished with precious weapons
integrated into the military leadership of the Lombards
although they did not originally come from the north
“The archaeogenetic findings suggest that members of the local population were soon accepted into the new elites and even helped to protect and administer the kingdom of the Lombards,” says Walter Pohl
historian at the Institute for Medieval Research at the Austrian Academy of Sciences and head of the HistoGenes project
This also led to marriages and gradual genetic mixing
“The new research not only provides evidence for existing knowledge
but also opens up completely new insights into how this immigration affected the Lombards' new homeland,” says the historian. One remarkable detail is the presence of so-called gold leaf crosses in some of the graves
These pieces of jewelry underline the Christian faith of the buried and illustrate the religious integration of the Lombard upper class into the society of northern Italy

part of the factories of the Pattern Group
one of its long-standing suppliers for some two decades
The deal was worth 21 million euros and will verticalize the brand's clothing and outerwear production (in this case down jackets and padded garments
since trench coats are produced in the factory Burberry owns in Yorkshire) in view of the brand's repositioning planned by CEO Jonathan Ackeroyd
Ackeroyd himself called the acquisition «an important next step in bringing our outerwear category to full potential
building on our strong foundations in the U.K.
and provide greater control over the quality
delivery and sustainability of our products
It’s an exciting development and I am delighted to welcome our new colleagues on board»
machinery and inventory will now pass into Burberry's hands
The arrival of Burberry's capital in Turin is the culmination of a month that has seen the Piedmont region and its factories receive attention from fashion financiers: in mid-February it was Cartier that inaugurated its new factory in Basse di Stura
while last week the Quadrivio group launched a bid for Cover 50

the Longobards (often shorted as "Lombards")
We know very little of them or any of the other barbarian tribes that roared through Western Europe other than roughly contemporary descriptions of where they came from
But a study of the DNA left behind in the cemeteries of the Longobards provides some indication of their origins and how they interacted with the Europeans they encountered
The Longobards entered the historical record when they were northeast of Roman territory
They crossed what was nominally Roman territory into what was called Pannonia and
a war between the Goths and Byzantine Romans on the Italian Peninsula left both weakened
and founded kingdoms that would remain in place for two hundred years
Both cemeteries feature bodies buried with a variety of grave goods
one of the individuals present was buried with a horse
Carbon dating has confirmed they were in use during the time the Longobards occupied the area
and similar graves have been found throughout northern Italy dating from this period
The big change with the new work is that the authors added genomics
isolating DNA from each of the buried skeletons and
the researchers performed a simpler genotyping procedure similar to that used by commercial testing companies
more of the skeletons were subjected to analysis of isotopes that indicated what they were eating and whether they had grown up in the same area they were now living
The DNA evidence included a major surprise: both cemeteries included groups of family members buried together
there were four families with multiple members buried in the cemetery and clustered together; Italy had three families
The genomes indicated that the families had originated in Northern Europe
consistent with the Longobards being a Germanic group (and indicating they had not recently arrived there from somewhere else)
many of the individuals had a significant contribution from Southern Europeans in their ancestry—in one case
One of the families was largely a mix of Southern European with contributions from the Iberian Peninsula—only a few of the family members have significant Longobard contributions
While one family appears to be entirely from Northern Europe
with one of them being nearly entirely Southern European and Iberian
The isotopes also tell two different tales
the family with a large Southern European contribution seems to have been living in the area where they were eventually buried
had an isotopic signature that didn't match the location conditions
suggesting they had migrated there from elsewhere
the Southern Europeans in the Hungarian cemetery seemed to have arrived there from elsewhere
The split was also notable in terms of the items buried with these families
"Individuals with predominantly central/northern and southern European ancestry possess very distinctive grave furnishings," the researchers note
All of this paints a picture that's consistent with the spotty historical record
The Longobards arrived in the area of what is now Hungary from Northern Europe and then moved into Italy
where they remained and buried several generations of their family members
there are signs of the turmoil gripping Europe at the time
Several families show indications of marrying people from outside the Longobard culture
and at least one family in each location appears to have been from Southern Europe
given that both groups appear to have buried their dead in the same location
The genetics also show a degree of ancestry mixing
as you'd expect in cases where the groups lived together for centuries
While the study paints a picture of cultural and genetic turmoil that matches the historical record
somehow its effects ended up being transient
"We observe that central/northern European ancestry is dominant in both Szólád and Collegno," the authors note
"and that modern genetic data do not show a preponderance of such ancestry in either Hungary or northern Italy." For whatever reason
the Longobards seem to have faded into genetic obscurity

ROME (JTA) – Italian police are investigating the theft of a “stumbling stone” Holocaust memorial to an Auschwitz victim
a gold-colored cobblestone-sized monument embedded in sidewalk
was stolen last week just a month after it was placed in Collegno
Collegno Mayor Francesco Casciano called the theft a “deplorable act that goes beyond vandalism” as it took place at “a time when a resurgence of neofascism” threatens democratic society
The stumbling stone commemorated Massimo De Benedetti
who was deported from Collegno and killed in Auschwitz in October 1944
The theft was the latest in a spate of vandal attacks on stumbling stone memorials in Italy in recent weeks
These included the theft of one in Venice and defacement of one in Milan
The incidents have taken place in the run-up to general elections scheduled for March 4
in which the populist Five Star Movement and virulently anti-immigrant
far-right League Party are expected to make strong showings
a far-right activist and League supporter wounded six African migrants in a drive-by shooting in the central Italian town of Macerata
Italy’s Jewish leadership issued formal backing for a national anti-fascist demonstration scheduled to take place in Rome on Saturday but said it would not officially take part because of Shabbat

Applying a comprehensive analysis of genetic
and archaeological factors in two 6th-century barbarian cemeteries
researchers have gleaned new insights into a key era known as the Migration Period that laid the foundation for modern European society
this epoch followed the decline of the Western Roman Empire and was a time of major socioeconomic and cultural transformation in Europe
despite more than a century of scholarly work by historians and archaeologists
much about the period still remains unknown or is hotly debated
published this week in Nature Communications
seeks to shed new light on how these communities were formed
and how they interacted with the local populations they supposedly came to dominate
and archaeologists led by Professor Patrick Geary of the Institute for Advanced Study and Professor Krishna Veeramah of Stony Brook University
Professor Johannes Krause of the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History
and Professor David Caramelli of the University of Florence
have for the first time sequenced the genomes of entire ancient cemeteries—one in Hungary and one in Italy
This research provides the clearest picture yet of the lives and population movements of communities associated with the Lombards
a barbarian people that ruled most of Italy for more than two hundred years after invading from the Roman Province of Pannonia (modern-day Hungary) in 568 C.E
The team’s data from the Hungarian cemetery
almost doubles the number of ancient genomes obtained from a single ancient site to date
This in-depth genomic characterization allowed the team to examine the relationship between the genetic background of the community and the archaeological material left behind
we would not have expected to observe such a strong relationship between genetic background and material culture,” said Patrick Geary
“This appears to suggest that these particular communities contained a mix of individuals with different genetic backgrounds
and that it likely influenced their social identity.”
A somewhat surprising result was that in both cemeteries
individuals buried with elaborate grave goods
like swords and shields for the men and beaded necklaces and broaches for the women
tended to have a genetic ancestry associated with modern northern and central Europeans today
while grave goods in individuals with more southern European-looking genomes were much less abundant
The individuals with abundant grave goods also tended to consume more protein rich diets
“What we have presented in this study is a unique cross-discipline framework for the future,” added Geary
“uniting experts from different disciplines to reinterpret and reconcile historical
and archaeological evidence to enhance our knowledge of the past
compile new information on how populations move
and new ways of understanding the complexity
and malleability of Europe’s population in the past and the present.”
The approach also allowed researchers for the first time to reconstruct comprehensive genealogies of the people who were buried in these cemeteries
finding that family relations spanning multiple generations were likely key to establishing these communities
“It looks like both these cemeteries organized themselves around one or two large groups of biologically related kin
with the vast majority of these individuals being men” said Veeramah
these related individuals tended to share the northern/central genetic ancestry associated with rich grave goods.”
The team concluded that it was unusual to see this genetic ancestry type in Hungary and certainly in Italy in the 6th century
our current results are consistent with the idea of barbarians migrating from north of Danube and east of the Rhine
which would suggest we are observing the invasions previously described by the Romans,” said Veeramah
“It is also likely that social organization was based around large high-status male biological kinship groups
and these were key to establishing communities following the migration into Italy.”
Veeramah
and Geary stressed that these results represented mere snapshots of the period and that more work in other cemeteries in other regions is vital for truly understanding this period
“It could be that we look at some new cemeteries 50 km away or that are 100 years older or younger and find very different patterns of social organization
and they almost certainly were during the Migration Period,” said Geary
“There are thousands of medieval cemeteries out there for us to look at
This is hopefully just the beginning of our work.”

A genetic study has revealed fascinating new insights into the social organization and migrations of the mysterious Longobards—a barbarian people who invaded and ruled over large parts of Italy for more than 200 years after the fall of Rome
cultural and economic changes between the third and tenth centuries—a period marked by the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and the migrations and invasions of barbarian groups throughout the continent
knowledge of this key historical era is limited in many respects
"There are many so-called "Barbarian people" described in historical texts that are supposed to have invaded Europe as the Roman Empire declined between the 4-6th centuries, with names such as Franks, Goths, Angles, Saxons and the Vandals," author of the Nature Communications study
Krishna Veeramah from Stony Brook University
as barbarians themselves did not leave any written records
their origins and their way of life are somewhat mysterious
these groups mostly lived north of the Roman Empire
beyond the Rhine and Danube rivers—what was once called "Germania"
The only written texts from the actual time of the events in question come from the Romans who were experiencing this invasion
almost all aspects of these migrations are debated amongst scholars
To try and address this uncertainty in the historical knowledge
an international team of researchers decided to use genetic data to see if they could shed light on one of the most intriguing barbarian groups
The Longobards—also known as the Lombards or "longbeards"—were a polyethnic confederation of barbarians that created a kingdom in the area of modern Austria and western Hungary in the sixth century
they conquered most of Italy in the later sixth century led by their ruler King Albion
Veeramah and colleagues used advanced DNA techniques to sequence all the genomes of 63 individuals from two ancient cemeteries in Szólád
that were previously associated with the Longobards
This allowed them to examine the genetic data in the context of archaeological material at these sites to get a sense of the social organization of these communities in a way that hasn't been done before
Each cemetery was found to be organized around one large family
with at least two groups of differing ancestry and funeral customs identified at each location
The team's findings demonstrate that the people in these cemeteries were very genetically diverse
with some looking like modern northern or central Europeans
and some looking like modern southern Europeans
individuals with this more northern genetic ancestry tended to have lots of grave goods—weapons
etc.—and be buried in a very elaborate way
while those with a more southern ancestry tended to not possess such artifacts," he said
"The northern-looking individuals also seemed to have much better diets in general—lots of meat for example," he said
"This suggests that while these individuals were all part of the same overall community—because they were buried together—there was a social structure that was shown in how they were buried and that reflected different genetic backgrounds."
the team were able to reconstruct complete genealogies of the people in these ancient cemeteries
we found families of mostly males buried together spanning across three generations
but only involving individuals with the northern European genetic ancestry and rich grave goods."
"Females did not show such close relationships
and showed evidence of being born elsewhere," he said
"We would not have expected to see this kind of northern genetic ancestry in Italy
This leads us to think that we are witnessing the migration of barbarians—in this case the so called 'Lombard migration'—described in the historical texts
and that groups of closely related males were an important part of this migration process
Women may have been acquired along the way or brought in from elsewhere once the group had settled."
Barbarians certainly contributed to a major change in the socioeconomic and cultural landscape of the continent and would provide a foundation for modern European society
there is a major debate amongst historians and archaeologists of the extent to which barbarians invaded the continent en masse
versus a more modest change involving only the ruling elite of early Medieval towns and villages
with the majority of the people who were present during the time of empire essentially remaining in place," he said
"While we knew that Barbarians entered the Roman Empire once it fell
we really had no idea about how they did this and in what kind of numbers," he said
by combining genomic data from everyone in an ancient cemetery and comparing this to the archaeological data and textual information
provides the first glimpse of this process
suggesting biological kinship amongst groups of men was a key part of the process
is to look at other cemeteries from this period that are associated both with the Lombards and other barbarian groups
to see how widespread such phenomena were and to build up a better picture of life at the time

The community was not a biologically homogeneous group
it was composed of individuals with diverse ancestries
The Roman Empire was arguably the greatest empire known to mankind
the Romans ruled much of Europe and its neighboring areas
establishing a flourishing system that was remarkably efficient
Europe entered a period of significant social and political change
It’s easy to assume that families who were in power in Roman times stayed in power — but this assumption isn’t necessarily true. A recent study looked at the elites that emerged from the ashes of the Roman Empire
The study focused on a cemetery in Collegno, Italy, a burial site from the 6th to 8th centuries CE. The researchers sequenced and analyzed the genomes of 28 individuals from the cemetery and incorporated data from 24 previously published genomes. They also studied individuals’ patterns of social mobility, burial patterns, and diet
“When the Roman Empire collapsed, we did not really know much about how new communities formed, yet many of these communities would go on to be the basis for modern European countries,” explains Veeramah
an Associate Professor in the Department of Ecology & Evolution in the College of Arts and Sciences
“Our study reveals that these elites were genetically surprisingly diverse
families with diverse genetic ancestry would come together to form ruling groups.”
the ruling group was established by and organized around a network of biologically and socially connected individuals — let’s say
These individuals were likely part of multiple elite families that
evolved into a single extended lineage through intermarriage
The earliest members of this community had mixed Central and Northern European ancestry
supporting the idea of a diverse elite group settling in the region
the elite community also welcomed new members
Individuals with different genetic backgrounds began appearing at the site
The presence of these individuals with distinct genetic ancestry suggests a new group arrived and integrated into the community during its later stages
further adding to the site’s diversity
The study is consistent with findings from other areas
“In 2018, our team published a paper that demonstrated genomic and cultural similarities between Collegno and Szólád
a village in modern Hungary that showed a significant correspondence between individuals with a northern European ancestry in both,” adds Patrick Geary
“Our new study follows the transformation of this Italian community over a century
and shows how new groups moved into and merged with the existing inhabitants.”
This highlights the community’s ability to incorporate diverse cultural practices
This might have been just the way things happened
or it could have been a strategy to enhance social cohesion and resilience
mobility played a crucial role in the formation and development of the Collegno community
The integration of individuals from diverse genetic backgrounds into the community indicates a level of social fluidity that is not strictly bound by genetic or familial ties
The presence of non-local strontium isotope signatures among some individuals suggests that even within this elite group
there was considerable movement and interaction with other regions
All of this goes to show that these elites were not simply remnants of the Roman aristocracy
Some undoubtedly came from wealthy Roman families
But others were newly formed groups that included individuals from various backgrounds
Their ability to integrate newcomers and maintain social cohesion was likely a key factor in their success and longevity
The study “The role of emerging elites in the formation and development of communities after the fall of the Roman Empire” was published in the journal PNAS

Bertone went bust in 2014 when it was declared bankrupt
the brand was sold to Akka Italia of Collegno
a division of the French engineering company AKKA Technologies
It changed hands again in 2020 when Ideactive
a company owned by brothers Mauro and Jean-Franck Ricci
The official revival will take place next week with the unveiling of an all-new hypercar teased today
Details are still shrouded in mystery, but Bertone does say its performance machine has been engineered to run on fuel made from plastic waste
the new official teaser is surprisingly revealing once you modify the image's exposure and brightness
but the company remains tight-lipped about the powertrain hiding behind the seats
From what we can tell, the design won't revolutionize the sports car segment since the car has a familiar look. Some will probably see a McLaren 720s or a Lotus Emira in that side profile
but we're nevertheless still excited to see what a fabled name can come up with for 2023
Previous teasers have provided an early look at the front and rear
which seemed to have a modern look while taking advantage of LED technology
Going forward, we're being told Bertone will become a "high-end manufacturer of limited edition hypercars, merging Italian elegance with breathtaking performance." Leading the way will be this mysterious model scheduled to premiere a week from tomorrow, on Wednesday, December 21, at 3 PM CET / 2 PM GMT / 9 AM Eastern.
