The first known Homo Sapiens living on Italy date of 50,000 years ago. Italy on the time was very different from what is now: The islands of Elba and Sicily were connected to the Italian Mainland.

During the Neolithic, the most important cultures on Italy were the Apennines, the Nuragic, the Camuni and the Terramare. These created several artworks had semi-advanced cultures.

Many cultures lasted extremely long. For example, the Nuragics survived in Corsica and Sardinia until the mid-2nd century B.C, when they were assimilated by the now Romanized majority.

However, as with the rest of pre-Roman Italian history, not much is truly known about this ancient cultures.

Maybe the most known Stone Age object of Italy is "Ötzi the Iceman", a frozen man in remarkably good conditions found in the South Tyrol area in Italy.
