Dalmatius of Pavia was simply a local preacher of northern Italy, was venerated at what was called Pedona and  moved to Quargnento after muslim conflicts.
In the 10th century, when the area of Pedona was devastated during Muslim raids, Dalmatius' relics were carried to Quargnento, where an inscription on his tomb read: [H]ic requiescit corpus sancti Dalmatii repositum ab Audace episcopo Astensi. Dalmatius of Pavia (Italian: San Dalmazzo, Dalmazio) (died 254 or 304 AD) is venerated as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church.
