While the terms German and Italian have been around for a while, none of the people defined as either would have self identified as Germanic or Italian prior to the advent of nationalism and the events required to undo regional supremacy


the people of Roman Italy definitely reffered to themselves as Italian, (though they mostly used the term "Latin") once in a while, usually in the context of thinking they're better than those damn dirty provincials.
most notably when the first non-Latin Emperor ascended the throne.
or the fact that only inhabitants of Italia (and a few colonies) held full citizenship as far as the 200's AD when it was extended to all free men in order to increase tax revenue by Emperor Caracalla.
