The traditional year identified as the beginning of the Roman Republic is 509 BC (or, BCE). In this year (or, at least, around this time), Romans threw out the last of its dictator-kings and established republican government. This "Republic Period" would last until the rise of Caesar Augustus as Emperor in approximately 27 BC (or, BCE).

What is the modern Italian name of region around rome?

This is a very complicated question. First off it depends on what your definition is. The Western Roman Empire fell when Emperor Romulus Augustus was dethroned by the barbarian king Odoacer in 476, but some sources claim it ended in 480 with the death of the last de jure Emperor Julius Nepos.
The Eastern Roman Empire is even more uncertain. Some could say it ended when the crusaders of the fourth crusade captured Constantinople and replaced the Byzantine Empire with the "Latin Empire" in 1204. But the Byzantine Empire was restored in 1261 under the Palaiologoi, which most believe reinstated the Roman Empire as well. After that Constantinople fell in 1453 to the Ottomans, which most believe was the true end of the Roman Empire, though many "successor states" would claim the time of Roman Empire, until the last one, the Empire of Trezibond, was destroyed in 1461 by the Ottomans. It should be stated that many later peoples would claim "Last Roman Empire", such was the Russian Tsars, even though they have no real connection to the Roman Empire itself.

According the the Aeneid, Aeneas and his followers were refugees from Troy. This is one of the two founding myths of Rome. However in reality, the city was more than likely founded by a group of local farmers who banded together for trade and protection.

After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, its territory was carved up into several kingdoms: the kingdom of the Franks in northen France, Belgium and southern Holland; the kigndom of the Alemanni in southern Gemany and Swizerland; the kingdom of the Burgundians in southeastern France; the kingom of the Visigoths in southwestern France and Spain, and the kingdom of the Vandals in Africa. In Italy there were the Ostrogoths (who did not actually take over fully and allowed the Latins of Italy to self-rule) and the Byzantines.
Much later in history, the (Turkish) Ottoman Empire took over most of the empire of the east.
you are obviously know the answer but made a pointless question but I'll answer it anyway. Rome exists because it is where people settled and it was once an empire.
Was the Roman church that Paul wrote to the same as the Catholic church in Rome today?
A:
We do not know if they are the same.
A simplistic reading of the gospels would tell us that Christianity could not possibly have split into competing sects within little more than twenty years from the crucifixion, in which case they must have been the same.
On the other hand, there are some reasons to believe they might have been from quite different Christian traditions. First, it appears that Emperor Nero expelled the Christians from Rome in the mid-60s, so the people who subsequently re-established Christianity in Rome could have been different individuals, even if their theologies were the same. Secondly, Paul's epistles and the New Testament gospels frequently mention missionaries who taught a different gospel, so it does seem that by the time of Paul Christianity was split into mutually antagonistic sects. The first Roman church need not have been closely connected to the Christians who subsequently produced the New Testament gospels and which we now associate with orthodox Christianity. And we do not know whether the sect that returned to Rome after the death of Nero was the same as the sect that Paul had written to. Third, some of Paul's writings seem at least marginally Gnostic, in which case his teachings were not the precursor of what was to become orthodox Christianity, even if orthodox Christians claimed his inheritance.
No. He had many victories throughout the Italian peninsula, but failed to capture Rome itself. The second Punic War (in which the Carthaginian general was Hannibal) ended with the defeat of Carthage at Zama, in 202BC.
The hilly area where Rome was eventually formed was always settled. There is evidence that the settlements in the area go as far back as 14,000 year ago, some 500 years before the foundation of Rome.
Rome was said to have been founded in 753 BC. The founding of Rome does not refer to the building of a city. It refers to the creation the Roman state. Romulus unified the peoples who lived in separate settlements of the hills which were to become the Seven Hills of Rome under his rule. Collectively, these settlements became Rome. Romulus was the first king of Rome as well as the founder of the unification of the settlements and of Rome as a city-state.
The foundation of Rome, was said to have involved the fusion of two groups, not three: Latins and Sabines
More precisely, Romulus unified the Latin settlements of the Septimontium, seven spurs on three of the Seven Hills (the Palatine, the Esquiline and the Caelian) which were already interlinked before the foundation of the Roman state. Rome also included the Quirinal Hill and the Viminal Hill where Sabines settled after the 'abduction of the Sabine women'. The story tells that the Romulus asked their Sabine neighbours to allow the Romans to marry their women because they were short of women. The Sabines refused and Romulus arranged for Sabine women to be kidnapped and married to Roman men. A Sabine king (Titus Tatius) attacked Rome to free them, but came to an amicable agreement. He and his Sabines then settled on the mentioned hills and Titus Tatius became co-king of Rome with Romulus for five year, until he died. The second and fourth kings of Rome were also Sabines.
I'll assume you mean Classical Rome, in which case it is the entire Roman Empire from the time of the first emperor, Caesar Augustus (Octavius), who came to rule in 27 B.C.E., to what many consider to be time of Constintine the Great, who became emperor in 306 C.E. & the Empire divided to began the Byzantine era in the East; however, traditionally, the the last (Western) Roman emperor is considered to be Romulus Augustus, who's reign ended with the official fall of Rome (Western Empire) in 476 C.E. ...
