Chaucer visited Italy (on government business) where he first read Boccaccio and Dante. Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated by Gavrillo Princip - and there's an Italian-sounding name if ever I heard one.

There is some evidence that Chaucer, who at the time was head of the customs house, went to italy to study double entry bookkeeping-- which was gaining popularity at the time. It was first taught in the new universities of italy. Not just any bookkeeping-- but the double entry method that is still used today.
