Claim: Dalmatius of Pavia was simply a local preacher of northern Italy, was venerated at what was called Pedona and  moved to Quargnento after religious conflicts.
Evidence: He was venerated at what was called Pedona (present-day Borgo San Dalmazzo). 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.
