"Italy" is something vague and misleading, it's just some common misconception which crawled into Wikipedia, this would-be knowledge-reference, and nobody takes the trouble to correct that.
That's based on the swallowtail merlons, but there was no "Italy" in those times, and the region in question could well fall into the territory of modern Switzerland, Austria, Germany or Italy. Of course, as already hinted above, the merlons suggest nothing beside that the person who depicted them was aware of their existence. That does not mean that he sat in a swallowtail castle. Maybe he was in need to specify a certain region on the map or to make some political hint. Not all walls in the Rosettes are swallowtail.
