An Italic Europe?

I've been wondering how to fit in the Venetic culture in present
Poland and the Kuhn's 'western Wend-' names
with the Adriatic Veneti and the Italic languages in general

The Pomeranian Culture
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomeranian_culture
is supposed to be the culture of the 'Vistula Veneti'.

It is strongly related to the House-Urn Culture
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_Urn_culture

so that one gets the impression they were separated by the expanding
Jastorf (later Przeworsk) Culture
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jastorf_culture

The predecessor of the Pomeranian and the House-Urn Culture was the
Lusatian culture
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lusatian_culture

The Lusatian Culture is supposedly part of the general Urnfield Culture:
'The eastern European Lusatian culture forms part of the urnfield
tradition, but continues into the Iron Age without a notable break.'

Jastorf (and later Przeworsk) was a Germanic expansion.
Hallstatt was a Celtic expansion.
Was Urnfield a Venetic expansion?
Are Krahe's Old European names Venetic?

It would explain those 'wester Wend-' names.

How about Wend- names in Britain?
