There are circular dry stone buildings (Vrtujak/Rotunda/Trullo) on the island of Korčula in CROATIA which are mainly found in the west end of the island. There are around 10 of them in the region (according to Rada Dragojević Ćosović: Suhozidna arhitektura, vrtujci i torete otoka Korčule). Most were built by the Zuvela families (Vela Luka - Blato area). Locally they are called ‘Vrtujak’. The vrtujak  term in the Croatian language references the circular nature of the structure. These unique architectural field stone houses seem to have been built in the 18th century during the Republic of Venice period and later in the 19th century (Lesetov Vrtujak ''meaning'' built by the Lese Zuvelas).

Other circular dry stone buildings which are near Korčula are in southern Italy (Trullo). They are in and around the town of Alberobello (in the province of Bari). They are also located in Istria, ‘Kažun’ in Croatia (locally they are on the island of Brač where they are called Bunje or Kućice, and there are also some on Hvar, Trima)

'''Antonio Xuvella'''  comes up in my research that is '''not''' recorded as being born on Korčula (not registered ''via'' church records of births). However Antonio (Antun) is mentioned in the town documents <ref>Vela Luka od 1490 do 1834 ''by'' Zvonko Maričić (p168, written in Croatian). It mentions  '''Antun''' who is not part of the Zuvela Korčula born family trees (''or'' any family tree). This could indicate him as a Korčula island '''migrant''' arrival, also read '''ref 1'''.</ref> and his record is the oldest which was in Blato dated 2nd of February 1642.

Antonio Xuvella (modern Croatian: Antun Žuvela) was probably the father of the Zuvela family because his generation (records wise) is older than the others. I have come to a conclusion based on family naming tradtions that his wife might have been called Jacquilin, Greek: Zaklín or Ζακλίν (Cro: Jaka). They had five sons and the first are written according to the historical original sources (the translation work is done by Don Ivo Oreb) and one being from Zvonko Maričić (ref 23):
