[Strengthandhonour]

I have read several books,articles,seen documentaries and what not on the Roman empire and I never recall much hatred towards italics, so if you have any source for this, I would like to see it. And even if the Romans hated the Italic tribes, lets not forget that if th legend goes correct, Rome was founded by members of Italic tribes, and most of the early Romans came from other Italic tribes from surrounding areas.
I do agree with your comment regarding the faith of the Italians who were moved there, but under no cause is it a just justification for killing anyone. The Partisans clearly defended their country like anyone else would,not always to the best, but they defended it. The people who were sent to "Italianize" this areas tended to be poor Southern Italian farmers who were in a way drafted by the government so they didn't have a choice.
This folk, did not gather together and said to one another "Lets move to -insert name here- and Italianize this people because we are evil fools!"
