Prince Klemens von Metternich (1773-1859), Austrian politician and diplomat, suppressed nationalistic and democratic trends in Central Europe but was also the architect of a diplomatic system which kept Europe at peace for a century.
Italy is a fascinating country for population geneticists and historians alike. As Metternich said in 1847 Italy is only a geographical expression. The peninsula was unified by Piedmont two decades later, but Metternich's remark still largely holds true today.n the 4th and 5th centuries the cooling of the climate prompted Germanic and Slavic tribes to migrate south and west and to invade the Roman Empire in search of more fertile lands. Germanic people brought haplogroups I1, I2a2a (M223, formerly known as I2b1), R1b-U106 and R1a (L664, Z282 and Z283 subclades) to Italy.
