Italy still mad that China has evidence of inventing noodles first
Iirc remains of fast food bars which most likely served noodles were found even in ancient Troy, ancient Rome definitely had those too, but the Italians went backward so much they even have a legend that Marco Polo brought noodles from China. In reality noodles in Italia most likely appeared by the same route as everything else in antiquity, from Greeks (often with Etruscan middlemanning).
The Romans were such jerks to wipe out the Etruscans. An obviously influential civilization that we know too little about because (if we believe the Roman accounts) Rome punched them to smithereens.
They didn't wipe out Etruscans. Even Etruscan culture was incredibly similar to Roman to begin with. Hell you can even say that Roman culture was a product of Etruscan influence, Romans taken from Etruscans basically everything. There's even theory that Rome literally was founded by Etruscans. And then the card swiched, Etruscans assimilated into broad Latin culture, but they are still there, the people of modern Tuscany are their direct descendants.
