Such amusing imagery. When you think of small villages in Italy you tend not to think of them having companies with the ability to do such cutting edge engineering.
A lot of aerospace companies making satellites, rockets, parts for ESA are in Northern Italy. Three of the ISS modules[1] were made near Turin.
Also, Ferraris and Lambos are made in Northern Italy (in relatively small towns, ex. Maranello is 17,000 people). High performance and precision engineering.

The problem why they searched all over Europe is that it wasn't just the accuracy, it was the part size combined with the accuracy. Making small parts with a lot of precision is relatively easy if you're willing to discard a whole pile of them after QA. Making big parts with any precision at all is tremendously hard (because the piece warms up as it is being worked and large pieces will expand quite a bit as they warm up) and discarding a single piece is going to be ridiculously expensive.
Northern Italy has its own character, so maybe not so surprising to find precision engineering.
Unfortunately for them, they're not the best at selling their services globally.
