The Bards

Originally created by a number of families from Verona and Padua, the Bards are a nomad clan that named themselves in homage to Shakespeare, who set so many of his plays in their home area.  Formed in 2002 when thousands of people in their area became homeless following the worldwide plant virus and food crash, the Bards soon grew to encompass similar families from the Balkans, which were hit even harder by the famine than Italy was.  
Today, the Bards control most of the territory east of Milan, the northern coastline of the Adriatic Sea, and large chunks of Croatia, Slovenia and Austria.
