===The Canegrate culture===
{{Main|Canegrate culture}}
 
The [[Canegrate culture]] reflects a late Bronze Age to early Iron Age culture in the [[Pianura Padana]]. These areas are now known as western [[Lombardy]], eastern [[Piedmont]] and [[Canton Ticino]].
 
The Canegrate culture testifies to the arrival of Urnfield<ref>Kruta, Venceslas: ''La grande storia dei celti. La nascita, l'affermazione e la decadenza'', Newton & Compton, 2003, {{ISBN|88-8289-851-2}}, {{ISBN|978-88-8289-851-9}}</ref> migratory wave of populations from the northwest part of the Alps that, crossing the alpine passes, had infiltrated and settled in the western [[Po River|Po]] area between [[Lake Maggiore]] and the [[Lake of Como]] (see: [[Scamozzina culture]]). They were bearers of a new [[funerary]] practice, which supplanted the old culture of [[inhumation]] instead introducing [[cremation]].
 
The population of Canegrate maintained its own homogeneity for a limited period of time, approximately a century, after which theyit blended with the [[Ligures|Ligurian]] aboriginal populations to create athe new culture called the [[Golasecca culture]].
