The passage below confirms my memory on this: ualberta.ca In their conquest of Italy, the Romans annexed much territory to the Roman state, thus making Roman citizens out of many foreigners. Other communities in Italy were "allies" of the Roman people. The Italian allies became increasingly Romanized and when the Romans refused to grant them citizenship, they rebelled in 91 B.C. The Romans ended the war by granting Roman citizenship to all the Italians south of the Po. 91 BC - this was in the Roman Republic period - before the Ceasars. The Po runs west to east through northern Italy - most of modern Italy is south of it. I know there have been some invasions of Italy over the centuries since then but I don't think they replaced the population there to any substantial extent. There could very well have been Romans named Grasso.
