Marriage Register of Chiesa di San Antonio di Padova, Serino, Italy, examined 25 June

He is from Guardavalle, Province Catanzaro (in the toe portion of Italy's "boot"), this
from Ottaviano Di Biase's professor friend, who also points out that Rodia, Rodio,
Rodhia is a name of Greek origin
unsure how someone from Guardavalle met someone from Serino (Ottaviano thinks it
was a need for workers after the plague hit Serino)
email 18 Nov 2020 from Ottaviano De Biase (marriage contracted 13 Oct 1667)
---------------------------------------------
This evening I found a history of Amato, Italy. It is in Province Catanzaro. Recall that
Guardavalle is in Province Catanzaro. Guardavalle is the town from which Domenico
Rodia came. He is the ancestors of the Rodia families of Serino.

CHAPTER II: THE FEUDAL PERIOD
In about 1100 it was dominated by the cousin of Costanza d'Altavilla and later, from
1444 to 1450, it was owned by King Alfonso of Aragon. In 1455, it passed to
Francesco Rodia through the investiture of the king. Then in 1464, his brother Paolo
succeeded Francesco Rodia. When he died, he was succeeded by his sister Moisella
who married Roberto Susanna, patrician of the city of Crotone, who received the
fiefdom of Amato as a dowry. In 1598, the direct descendant Fabrizio took power, but
he died shortly thereafter and for lack of male descendants, his sister Lucrezia
succeeded him. The latter married Ascanio Rocca of Catanzaro, with a dowry of
barony. When he died, he was succeeded by his son Francesco, who died in 1615. In
1627, the Prince of Maida, Marcantonio Loffredo, bought the fiefdom of the hamlet for
51,500 ducats. In the same year, Amato was sold to Orazio Mottola, patrician of
Monteleone for the sum of 30,000 ducats. He donated it in 1662 to his eldest son
Donato Antonio Mottola and constituted a "Maiorascato" (succession in favor of the
firstborn males and their descendants). In the following years, Donato Antonio gained
great merit at the Court of Spain and the title of Marquis of Amato, which was granted
to him in recognition of the services rendered to the Crown in 1675. In 1686, he was
succeeded by his eldest son Orazio, who in 1696 he donated the bell "Amor" to the
church of Amato and two other bells dedicated respectively to St. Joseph and the
Immaculate Virgin. He died in 1721 and was succeeded by his daughter Teresa Felice,
who married his cousin Marco Antonio Mottola and put his son Francesco Antonio with
him by decree of the Royal Court of the Vicariate to enact the "Maiorascato" he is
declared the universal heir of the fiefdom of Amato. He was succeeded by his son
Orazio Mottola who obtained from his father, the Marquisate of Amato and the
Baronies of Joppolo and Coccorino in 1732.
It is my guess that Francesco or Paul Rodia is an ancestor of Domenico Rodia.

I have also found a reference to a Bernardino Rodia/Rhodia in the same area two
centuries earlier

RHODIA: famiglia ugualmente nobile in Squillaci e Catanzaro. L'anno 1343 Giovanni
Rhodio da Squillace era nella corte della reina Giovanna I con carico di suo tesoriero:
cosi lo scrive Camillo Tutino. Aggionge Vincenzo Amato ch'ella fosse tale che non
abbia invidia alle migliori di Calabria.
Francesco di questa famiglia ottenne dal re Alfonso I il feudo dell'Amato, piu di coltura
che di vassallaggio e nientemeno lo riempi di gente, che ne divenne popolosa
abitazione; onde poi Paulo suo figliuolo, non avendone dato il rivelo, Re Ferrante per
li meriti di quello non volle saperne altro.
RHODIA: equally noble family in Squillaci and Catanzaro. The year 1343 Giovanni
Rhodio from Squillace was in the court of the reina Giovanna I with load of its
treasurer: thus Camillo Tutino writes. He adds Vincenzo Amato that she was such that
he did not envy the best of Calabria.
Francesco of this family obtained from the king Alfonso I the fiefdom of the Beloved,
more of culture than of vassalage and no less filled it with people, who became a
populous dwelling; so that his son Paulo, not having revealed it, King Ferrante did not
want to know any more about them than he deserved.
--------------
In wikiwand.com/en/Amato, it states,
From the 1st half of the 1400, the history of Amato begins to be better documented. At
that time the territory of Amato was given to the feudatory Francesco Rodio of
Catanzaro by Alfonso I, King of Naples. Then it was transferred to Prince Marcantonio
of Loffredo. In 1635 it was given to Donato A. Mottola by the King of Spain.

It is an entry 25 Oct 1335

Ivi 22 — Ordina consegnarsi al suddetto Giacomo de Bur-
son tutta la stoppa fatta venire nella città di Napoli per le
navi allora destinate per la spedizione di Àcaia, quale stoppa
ora serve per le navi della guerra di Sicilia (1). In questo
stesso giorno fa salvacondotto alla nobile Rodia vedova di
Galgano della Marra , già impiccato , ed a' suoi figliuoli , i
quali per la condanna del marito e del padre rispettivo la-
titavano pel Regno. E nello stesso tempo restituisce loro i
beni confiscati al defunto Galgano. Simile salvacondotto fa
al milite Giovanni della Marra figliuolo di Angelo, già im-
piccato, il quale per la condanna del padre era fuggito dal
regno ; però deve restare lontano da Barletta per due anni,
e deve prestare cauzione di 4 mila once di oro de fidelitate
servanda (2). Lo stesso Principe di Salerno volendo usare
clemenza verso Ruggiero della Marra condannato nel capo
per le sue colpe, e tenuto in ceppi nel castello del Salva-
tore a mare di Napoli detto dell' Uovo , gli fa grazia della
vita e delle membra del suo corpo fino al ritorno in regno
di re Carlo suo padre, promettendogli di metter lo in libertà
se fra lo spazio di cinque anni il detto re Carlo non ritor-
nerà in regno. Però il detto Ruggiero della Marra deve dare
due suoi figliuoli legittimi in ostaggio ed una cauzione di
6 mila once di oro, e dovrà essere rilegato in una terra del
regno, dove piacérà ad esso Principe, e con l'obbligo di
presentarsi almeno una volta al giorno in detta terra alla
persona all' uopo destinata; e che esso Ruggiero non abbia
cosa alcuna a dire, fare o trattare contro re Carlo e la sua
real famiglia e suo regno di Sicilia. Intanto restituirà tutti
i suoi beni che possedeva in Barletta, in Ravello ed in Gio-
venazzo alla moglie ed a' figliuoli, dopo che avranno pagato
ad esso principe 4 mila once di oro (3).
Ivi 22 - Order delivery to the aforementioned Giacomo de Bur-
are all the tow made to come to the city of Naples for the
ships then destined for the shipping of Accaia, such as tow
now it serves for the ships of the Sicilian war (1). In this
same day he is safe-conduct to the noble Rodia widow of
Galgano della Marra, already hanged, and to his sons, i
which for the condemnation of the husband and the respective father the
titavano for the Kingdom. And at the same time he returns them i
assets confiscated from the deceased Galgano. Similar safe-conduct does
to the soldier Giovanni della Marra, Angelo's son, already
piqued, who for the condemnation of his father had fled from
kingdom; however he must stay away from Barletta for two years,
and must pay a deposit of 4 thousand ounces of gold de fidelitate
servanda (2). The same Prince of Salerno wanting to use
clemency towards Ruggiero della Marra condemned in the head
for his faults, and kept in logs in the castle of the Save-
to the sea of ??Naples, called of the Egg, grants him the grace of
life and limbs of his body until he returns to the kingdom
of King Charles his father, promising to release him
if in the space of five years the said king Carlo does not return
will be in the realm. But the said Ruggiero della Marra must give
two of his legitimate children hostage and a bail of
6 thousand ounces of gold, and will have to be bound in a land of the
kingdom, where Prince will like it, and with the obligation to
appear at least once a day in the said land at
intended person; and that Ruggiero does not have
nothing to say, do or treat against King Charles and his
real family and his kingdom of Sicily. Meanwhile, he will return all
his possessions he owned in Barletta, Ravello and Gio-
Venazzo to his wife and children, after they have paid
to it prince 4 thousand ounces of gold (3).
