    At one point, they were very successful paleo-italics.
    >were they pre-Indo-Europeans like the Basque or Nuragic peoples?
    Probably
    >or were they migrants from somewhere else?

    It's not really clear; they are linked to the Villanova culture in Italy starting from the XII-XI century bC,that is in turn similar to the Urnfield culture of the rest of central europe.
    They spoke a non Idoeuropean language that hasn't been traslated, no other similar language is known outside of Raetian, another people living in the east of the italian alps.
    They called themselves Rasna, the greeks called them Tursi(?) or Tyrreni and were known for their piratical actions.
    Some writers say that they were autoctonous to Italy, other that they come from Anatolia.

      how realistic is that theory?
      to have come from boat or all the way on land to end up on the peninsula and all that in large numbers to be able to populate such a large area seems like quite a stretch to me

    They are an evolution of the Villanovan culture, which ultimately originated from Central European cultures like the Urnfield. The langauge itself was probably local.
