So it was more of an idea of Romaness as a unifying culture rather than an actual ethnic people.
I guess thats why so many non latins still considered themselves sucessors of Rome. If classical Italy was a group of different people living in the same region. At what point do modern day Italians go back before they consider those people ethnically Italian. When the country was founded? Or some point before that?
I don't know much about Italian History post Roman Empire, so Micchan will have to give you that. But you're right many states considered themself successor of Rome like the Holy Roman Empire. Also when the Western Roman Empire collapsed the Eastern half (which we call the Byzantine Empire) lived on for another 1000 years. They never stopped calling themself Roman even though they controlled no Italian territory. Even Russia tried taking some of Rome's shine by labeling themselves as successors through the Orthodox Church (which was the church of the byzantine empire) and by calling their leader Tsar (Ceasar). Note: Germany did this too with Kaiser.
More on this idea of a "Third Rome" can be found on this wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Rome

So basically, even in modern day Italy there wasn't really a central "ethnicity" in the empire/republic. The basis of the Republic was unifying all the different tribes and different groups. Think of it maybe like modern day UK with a united nation but strong cultural identity among different groups. Being a Roman was just a mark of citizenship and not of background
