History
According to a legend, the town's name would
derive from "Bar dus", or "Barrio", the last
elephant of Hannibal's army, who supposedly died
here during the march to Rome. Historically, the
name stems from the Lombard nobility who
established themselves in Bardi around 600 AD. In
1000 the bishop of Piacenza took up residence
here.
In 1257 the Landi of Piacenza acquired it,
remaining lord of Bardi for the following four
centuries. In 1269 the castle was stormed by an
army led by Alberto Fontana, and the commune of
Piacenza held it until 1307, when Emperor Henry
VII gave it back to Umbertino II Landi. Galeazzo I
Visconti of Milan obtained a notable victory over
the Guelphs in the nearby on November 29, 1321.
In 1381 the Landi were declared formally
independent by Gian Galeazzo Visconti, and
obtained a complete autonomy in 1415.

Federico and his daughter Polissena Bardi
renewed the castle in the 16th-17th century,
establishing a college which lasted until 1805. In
1682 Polissena's son Dario ceded Bardi to
Ranuccio II Farnese, Duke of Parma and Piacenza,
and the town followed the story of the latter until
the unification of Italy.
From the late 19th to 20th century, much of the
town's population emigrated to France,
Switzerland, Belgium and particularly Wales,
where they had a notable impact on Welsh life.
Today many Welsh Italians return to Emilia
Romagna for short breaks and as a second home.[2]
During World War II the area saw numerous
clashes between the German occupants and the
partisans, the city being bombed by 12 Stukas onJuly 17,
1944.
