Former diocese in Umbria From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The former Italian Catholic Diocese of Città della Pieve, in Umbria, existed until 1986. In that year it was united into the Archdiocese of Perugia-Città della Pieve.[1][2]
Città della Pieve is a city of obscure origin in the province of Perugia. It certainly was an episcopal see in the eleventh century, since in 1099 the bishop was expelled by the Ghibellines. Later Pope Paschal II united it with the Diocese of Chiusi.
Pope Clement VIII re-established it as a separate see, immediately subject to the Holy See, in 1601, the first bishop being Fabrizio Paolucci of the Counts of Cabulo. In 1642, while Giovanni Battista Carcarasio was bishop, the city was sacked by the German soldiers of the Duke of Parma.
The cathedral, dedicated to Saints Gervasius and Protasius, is said to have been erected at the exhortation of St. Ambrose.
United: 30 September 1986 with the Archdiocese of Perugia to form the Archdiocese of Perugia-Città della Pieve
