Abstract
The genetic structure of the province of Piacenza, in Northern Italy, was studied with the aim of finding genetic traces of ancient populations. MHC genes and STR microsatellites of inhabitants with grandparents of the same area were analysed. Our results show that the population of the mountainous region of the province of Piacenza has more genetic similarities with Basques than with other european populations
