Falisci

Falisci refers to a historical group of people from ancient Italy, particularly associated with the region of Faliscia (modern-day northern Lazio). They were an Italic-speaking people who inhabited the area before and during early Roman times. Known for their distinct language and culture, the Falisci interacted with neighboring peoples such as the Romans and Etruscans. Over time, their cultural identity merged with others as Rome expanded, and they eventually became integrated into the broader Roman civilization. Today, their historical presence provides insight into the diverse peoples that contributed to Italy’s ancient cultural landscape.
