Could they settle in the Po valley or Southern ItalyAs I understand, population densities were still pretty high in Italy by the fifth century, so the visigoths might have had a difficult time keeping control of the whole peninsula.

What about Visigoths + Ostrogoths?
Maybe they would just be called Goths then. Of course they were politically separate and unification is hard because nobody wants to stop being a King.
As it almost happened OTL with Theodoric and Amalaric. Maybe this time it will happen one century earlier.We are authors here. The visigoths have their king died but a pretty girl is related to the last king. Marriage unite!

Weren't the terms Visi- and Ostro- geographical terms or something like that?Small nitpick, but at the time, they *were* actually just called Goths IIRC. Pretty sure "Visigoth" and "Ostrogoth" are terms retroactively applied to the period by historians
Maybe Sicily? The island is habitable enough to probably accommodate new settlements, yet also small enough that the Visigoths might leave a lasting impact there.Could they settle in the Po valley or Southern Italy
