Got a source? Couldn't find it, would be happy to add to article. Honestly, it makes sense that people were making white breads with high water content dough and chewy crust before. But he made it for a particular reason, named it, and it spread internationally from his example.

My grandma, aunt, and a former boss. Admittedly not great sources, but ask any boomer who toured or lived in Italy during that era if they had a ciabatta back then.
A google books search for pre-1982 books brings up at least one cookbook https://www.google.com/search?tbo=p&tbm=bks&q=ciabatta&tbs=,cdr:1,cd_max:Dec+31_2+1982&num=100
You are going to have to be more specific in that link. Ciabatta as a word (and a surname) existed before then.
