I've also heard Switzerland. Where do these stories come from?

One gentleman I exchanged information with years ago claimed his ancestors were actually from Albania. I understand there was a large migration of Albanians back in the time frame you mention, possibly the 15-1600s. The town I know of where there is a large "Albanese" population is called Greci. It's not far from Montefalcione.

I hope this helps a little.

Mike.
