The three groups that existed on the Italian peninsula from about 700 to 500 BC were the Etruscans, the Greeks, and the various indigenous Italic tribes such as the Latins, Sabines, and Samnites. These groups influenced each other through trade, warfare, and cultural exchange, contributing to the diverse fabric of early Italian civilization.

Three groups? There were more than twenty-four peoples living in mainland Italy when Rome was a newcomer. In central and southern Italy was the Osco-Umbrian linguistic group which included the Umbrians, Piceni, Sabines, Marsi, Marucini, Frentani, Vestini, Samnites, Campanians and Lucanians. In Apulia (the toe of Italy) there were the Dauni Puecetii and Messapii. In Calabria (the Toe of Italy, there were the Enorti, Ausoni and Brutii. The Latins, the Falscans and the Etruscans, Aequi, Volsci and Aurunci lived in central Italy In the north there were the the Ligurians, the Gauls (thee were five groups of Gauls, the Taurini, Insubers, Centomani, Boii and Senones) and the Veneti. In the south there were also Greek settlements These were the main groups of peoples who lived in Italy around 350 BC. There were more than likely many more smaller ethnic groups that either died out or merged with other groups.

In terms of the definition of the word "peninsula" it is a broad one for the location of countries. There are three prominent ones: * Italy, on the Italian peninsula; * Spain, on the Iberian peninsula; and * Portugal, on the Iberian peninsula.
The five European peninsulas are the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), the Italian Peninsula (Italy), the Balkan Peninsula (Greece, Albania, Bulgaria), the Scandinavian Peninsula (Norway and Sweden), and the Jutland Peninsula (Denmark and a small part of Germany).
Iberian, Apennine/Italian, and the Balkan Peninsula are some examples.
Because it is surrounded on three sides by water - which is difficult to defend !
