I believe that the Sabines were Eastern Italics and that Samnites were a part of the Sabine stock that had moved into where present day Molise is and the rest of Samnium. But the Latins of Rome were Western Italics that were in present day Latium. Are the Eastern and Western Italics,of the same bloodline, stock , culture,language or DNA ? In present day Molise ,and Campania are the people there descended from the Samnites ,Latins, or both? Or are they descended from other Eastern and Western Italics. Or does it matter if in fact there is no real difference in the bloodlines of Eastern and Western Italics.

My understanding is that the Samnites were a branch of the Eastern Italics called the Sabines,and these Samnites had settled in and around modern day Molise,which formed a large part of Samnium. On the other hand,my understanding is that the Romans were from the Latin tribes which were a branch of the Western Italics,who were in Latium. Were the Latins and the Samnites related by blood or language ,etc? Would modern day Italians in Molise share more DNA with the Romans,Samnites,both or neither?
