Dates in mythological time are necessarily imprecise, but the Greek historical theorist Eratosthenes dated the Fall of Troy between 1194 and 1184 BC.
Most classical authors would have been aware of Eratosthenes' dating, and many seem to have accepted it as substantively correct.
If one allow a decade (or probably a little less) for Aeneas' wanderings around the Mediterranean, this gives us a date for first landfall on the Italian mainland between 1187 and 1177 BC.
