Perhaps they didn't have any *direct* connections to Wuhan? JFK did.
And Italy's international airport is in the North, Milan. And it might be
dumb luck in which a flight narrowly avoids becoming a carrier? At any
rate, foreign viruses need to find their way through ports of entry, in this
case, international air
ports. It's almost as if you can't have areas of high
population density without having an international airport.
IMO, it's a factor worth considering. The hit and miss nature of the virus
makes it tough to track, but it found a way into the country.
