C., which him invaghì of the young girl that was to be sacrificed in the temple (in this the tribute consisted), and it had the audacity to fight with the ghost of Polite and it won him/it forcing to throw him/it him in the sea of the cliff of the country. Temesa reappears then, during the second war punica when taken the parts of Annibale, and it was forced to destroy her/it, not being able her/it more to defend, not to make to fall her/it in power of the Romans. This last, in 194 to. C., reconstructed her/it fixing you one colony of theirs, and in it, following the authority of Cicero, gangs of rebellious slaves to the epoch of the servile insurrection of Spartaco were sheltered (73-71 to.

This breve hardly speaks narrated it was to the origin of the migration of the Valdesis, from the Valleys of the Piedmont and that it brought Valdesi to the birth of the colonies in Calabria. The facts above quoted, they developed him in 1315 and it was in the same year that groups of Valdesi came in Calabria to visit the places offered by the Calabrian gentleman for then to report to the people of the Valleys of it.

Subsequently, numerous families from the valleys were started toward the new earths, in which once comes they began the construction of the Suburb of the Ultramontanis. In the following years in consequence of new migrations, the Valdesis built other suburbs. It was alone following these further datable emigrations around 1375 that the Valdesis got from the marquis Spinelli Signore of Fuscaldo, the concession to build in a place of his/her feud called her Watch, subsequently Watch of Piedmont or Piedmontese, since such earth it was the origin of the people that he/she lived him/it.
