Visigoths settle in Italy

After the Sack of Rome in 410, Could the Visigoths settle in Italy.

Could they remain there long-term
 
As 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.

Could they settle in the Po valley or Southern Italy
 
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.

We are authors here. The visigoths have their king died but a pretty girl is related to the last king. Marriage unite!

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
