Both Italians and Balkaners have been mixed with their conquerors.
Northern Italians are basically Italic + Germanic (modelled) while W. Balkaners are Italic + Slavic (modelled)
While this is interesting, relations between Italians and W. Balkan people are basically non-existent and they treat each other as two completely Alien nations.
Destruction of Western Roman Empire by Germans and Slavic invasions have been really devastating for Hellenism as unifying force in the Western Mediterranean.
