Only very short: It seems that the family of Losy (Loschi, Lossio) was a protestant family from Italy who has to flee from Italy to the region "Veltlin" (exactly Piuro or older: Plurs) who was then under the leadership of the "Drei Bünde" (today Kanton Graubünden). The "Drei Bünde" were in these times not member of the old Swiss Eidgenossenschaft - they were only a "zugewandter Ort" (a mutual-defense region independent of Switzerland). The rockslide of Plurs in 1618 is well known. see: http://www.hls-dhs-dss.ch/textes/d/D7071.php and the map http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Geschichte_Graubuenden.png&filetimestamp=20100704044104
