Hello
Taurini people (ligurian or Celtic tribe) lived in Cisalpine with city Taurasia or Taurasion
there is connexion between the Taurini name and the "bull" = the bull ones
 
but Taurini lived near from Alpes like Taurisques (North Italy in montains)
I think this name means "Highlanders" with IE root Thor- (?) = mountain
like Taure-dunum city on Lac Léman = the fortress on the mountain
may be connexion with Celtic Turno- = mountain Turno-durum = Tonnerre (Yonne)
see Old Breton Torn- and Welsh Turno = hill
and Middel Irish Ta(i)rr and Scot Tòir = Hill 
and Breton Tarr-os = escarpment and Welsh Tarren = Mound
 
Latin Turris
Grec Tyrsis
