Genetic tests show that alpine Italy is the region where the most Germanic heritage was preserved. However, which Germanic tribes had the most influence in Alpine Italy? I know that in Lombardy it is most likely the Germanic ancestry is fully Lombardic, but what about in Trento and Alpine Veneto? Is there Bavarii and Allemanic ancestry there as well as Lombard?

The Lombards moved south and were then thrown around after their defeat by the Normans so it's hard to say who is a Lombard or not imo.
