Are the current Italians living in Italy were the Ancient Romans of Rome?
Partially. A great many peoples besides the Romans lived in Italy at that time. Etruscans, Samnites, Greeks, Gauls, etc. These did not disappear after the Romans took over. Modern Italians are probably descendants of all these group, plus any later immigrants (Goths, Longobards, Normans in Sicily, and so on).
Is there any current celebrities who are look like descendants of Roman people?
