Abstract
On the heretical communities that were formed in the sixteenth century in Italy, little is known yet. We have little or no knowledge of the infiltration of heretics in Molise, Abruzzo, Basilicata, Principato Ultra or Puglia. Yet in these territories, which were largely part of the Kingdom of Naples, Protestantism took place - as it is right to hypothesize - even for some reasons, on which so far little has been investigated. Among these causes there was the presence of the Waldensian groups, rooted in southern Italy since the Middle Ages, whose historical heritage (on which this research dwells), at least in principle and not without difficulty, joined at the beginning of the 16th century to the Reformation Switzerland-Strasbourg.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
