All Italian iPhones are totally unlocked so you can use them with any operator in any country. Also the settings should be free to be modified, so no problems for configuring it with Swisscom.

The only problem could be if your iPhone plan is "connected" with your actual iPhone through its IMEI number. In that case you could have some problems with data, but I don't think so...

In Italy both TIM and Vodafone sell the iPhone at the same price: € 499/569 (8/16GB).
There's no specific data plan on prepaid. You can add one of the many data options available on the Italian market. Honestly I'd go with Wind or 3, not with TIM or Vodafone...
