Abstract

The Celtic peopling south of the Alps represented a multifaceted phenomenon, not much referable to a unitary model. It consists of groups of different origins who settled in differentiated areas, characterized by specifities due to the previous cultural features, which played a crucial role in the emplacement of the newcomers. Moreover, our understanding of Celtic settlement in northern Italy is hampered by a shortage of updated and comprehensive contextual data, above all about settlements.
