>Guardia used to be called Guardia Fiscaldi, after the powerful local feudal lords Fiscaldo/Fuscaldo, originating from Fuscaldo. After the settlement of Waldensian refugees who spoke the Occitan language, the place gained the name of Guardia dei Valdi. After their suppression, the name became Guardia Lombarda, which was changed to Guardia Piemontese in 1863. >During the 12th and 13th centuries, Waldensians arrived in Calabria from the Kingdom of Arles and Dauphiné, which had part of his territories also in the most western valleys of Piedmont. By 1315, they had settled in Montalto Uffugo, later also in San Sosti dei Valdesi, Vacarizzo and San Vincenzo. The local feudal lords, the Spinelli, being lords of Fuscaldo, granted them refuge.>With the successes of the Reformation, many secret Waldensians decided not to hide their true religious beliefs any longer.>so Ghislieri ordered the abbot to eradicate the Waldensian heresy, in coordination with his local Archbishop of Cosenza, Taddeo GaddiThis was one of the Largest towns in calabria at the time, now has a tiny population, if it wasn't for my brown terrone ancestors we would find ourselves with a beautiful white occitan community in calabria, why were they so resentful, i don't believe the waldesian religion was the only problem here, were they angry because they envied the whiteness of the occitans?
