GUARDIA PIEMONTESE (CS) |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
The Hotel is situated in Guardia Piemontese, a town near Cosenza.
Guardia Piemontese is an unique place all over
Calabria, because an ethnic-linguistic minority still takes place. Whereas centuries ago there were others all
around Calabria.
The minority, we are referring to, is that of "Valdesi" and their language is "Occitano". |

Their movements, which anticipated
the Protestant Reform in the XVI
century, was founded in France by Pietro Valdo. The Valdesi, that came from the
vallies of Piedmont , spread out in the South of Italy between the XIII and the XIV century.
Guardia Piemontese and
the others villages were innocent victims of the Saint Inquisition that reached
its epilog with the massacre in 1561. Still today, in Guardia, the
ancient Provençal language is spoken. |
