The Glorioso Rimpatrio dei Valdesi from France to Piemonte
Trekking
· Italy and France - Trekking & Biking in Piemonte
The Waldensians are a Christian denomination founded by Pietro Valdo in Lyon, France, in the 12th century. They preached the return to poverty of the apostles, the abandonment of politics by the popes of the time and ended up being condemned as heretics and persecuted. Some communities took refuge in the Alpine valleys of Piemonte, where they remained clandestine for four centuries. Following the deportations and killings, about three thousand Waldensians fled from Piemonte to Switzerland.
In 1689, William III of Orange, king of England, financed an expedition of Waldensians to return to Piemonte. A thousand Waldensians, led by the shepherd Henri Arnaud, left from the shores of Lake Geneva, in Switzerland, clashed with the French troops, defeating them and, after 12 days of walking, returned to the alpine valleys of western Piemonte. We retrace the itinerary of the Glorioso Rimpatrio among high mountain landscapes and the memories of history.
