I said in the video that Italy should not be considered as the craddle of figs but the truth is that such countries as Italy, USA and Turkey invested money into R&D in terms of creating new varieties. So yes the history of the figs is not only about Italy but in terms of quality chances are higher you will be able to buy better quality figs in Italy just because they had more money to do research.
Elin: Albania is a small country so no chance and they have their own production. Montenegro was part of Serbia and before this it was part of Yougoslavia. This is complicated story in terms of history and I prefer to skip this topic as this forum is about figs! The end result is that Montenegro is a small country and looking at other countries around I can only think of Bulgaria and Croatia that have some level of export for figs.
As for caprification it most probable as most fig trees you will find on your way will need it as they are in the wild.
Also, last year I went to Georgia and Armenia and too bad I did not have a video camera on that trip...
