Nothern Italy has one of the largest, if not the largest, Chinatowns in the world (poulation size basically unknown due to many illegals). This is due to the fact that the italian fashion industry has been taken over by Chinese companies beginning in the mid-eighties. Nowadays, practically the whole manufacturing of "Italian fashion" is done by Chinese in Chinese factories.
Chinese people traveling from/to China to/from Italy happened all the time, so there is no surprise if that included people from the Wuhan region.
