Da movimento ereticale a chiesa riformata: una lettura del valdismo attraverso le sue confessioni di fede

The aim of this article is to analyse the encounter between Waldism and Reformation, and the transformation of the medieval heretical movement into a reformed church through examination of two confessions of faith: Chanforan Synod Declaration (1532), that states the Waldensian adhesion to the Reform, and the Waldensian Confession of Faith of 1655 in which it is possible to trace an already well organized church with a doctrine and an ecclesiastical discipline prominently Protestant.
