Cento, cinquecento, uno, cinquanta, mille, cinque.Answer
10 will come next.The numbers are all from Roman Numerals, when they are in order alphabetically.
It should look like this:
C (100), D (500), I (1), L (50), M (1000), V (5) and then X (10).
The hint shows all of the numbers in Italian. Since Rome is the capital of Italy, this is a slight hint to Roman Numerals.
