I wrote to Bernardu Pazzoni at the Corsican museum.  The earliest  
reference to the cittern in Corsica that he's found dates 1696.   
Corsica was under Genovese rule in those days.

He suggests this book for more information:

Les Musiques de Corse, instruments, chants et danses by Antoine  
Massoni.  Available from:
Librairie Alain Piazzola
1, rue Ste Lucie
20000 Ajaccio (Corse)
