Golasecca culture
The Golasecca culture was an Iron Age culture of north-western Italy and southern Switzerland, from about the 9th to the 4th century BCE, named after a site near Lake Maggiore. Its people traded between the Etruscans and the Celts north of the Alps and wrote inscriptions in Lepontic, an early Celtic language. It gave way to the Gaulish Insubres after the 4th-century migrations.
