Idk about that. Probably these so called borrowed words from Italian, are actually of Latin origin, like so many words in so many European languages.

I don’t speak Swedish, but ⟨faktura⟩ is clearly from Latin, not from Italian. Italian shifted Latin ⟨ct⟩ /kt/ clusters into ⟨tt⟩ /t:/, and the Swedish borrowing preserves it.
