Ha existido en su forma actual desde 1986, cuando la arquidiócesis de Ancona se unió a la histórica diócesis de Osimo. Desde los primeros tiempos, la diócesis ha estado directamente sujeta a la Santa Sede, sin autoridades intermedias.^[1]

El arzobispo tiene su cátedra en la Catedral de Ancona, mientras la Catedral de Osimo tiene el estado de una co-catedral.

En los siglos XVII, XVIII y XIX, el arzobispo de Ancona era frecuentemente cardenal. Un exarzobispo, Prospero Lambertini, ascendió al papado como el papa Benedicto XIV.

Historia

El 19 de octubre de 1422, en virtud de la bula Ex supernae majestatis, el papa Martín V decretó la unión de la diócesis de Ancona y la diócesis de Numana (Humana, Umana). Excepto por el título, la diócesis de Numana fue completamente suprimida.^[2]

El 14 de septiembre de 1904, la Congregación Consistorial de la Curia Papal emitió un decreto, que había sido aprobado por el papa Pío X, elevando la diócesis de Ancona-Numantia al rango de sede arzobispal, sin sufragáneos y con el estado y la definición geográfica de  La diócesis no ha cambiado.  El decreto también otorgó a los arzobispos el uso del palio y la cruz arzobispal, pero solo dentro de los límites de su propia diócesis. El cardenal Achille Manara fue continuado como jefe de la arquidiócesis.^[3]

El 15 de agosto de 1972, por la bula Qui apostolico officio, el papa Pablo VI creó la nueva provincia eclesiástica de Ancona, y otorgó a su arzobispo el estatus de metropolitano. A la provincia eclesiástica se le asignaron las diócesis sufragáneas de Jesi (Aesina) y Osimo (Auximana).^[4]

El 5 de julio de 1975, después de obtener el permiso del papa Pablo VI, la Congregación de los obispos de la Curia Papal ordenó que el título de la arquidiócesis fuera solo la arquidiócesis de Ancona. El título de Numana fue reservado, para convertirse en obispado titular.^[5]

En un decreto del Concilio Vaticano II, se recomendó reorganizar las diócesis para tener en cuenta los desarrollos modernos.^[6] Como parte del proyecto iniciado por órdenes del Papa Juan XXIII, y continuó bajo sus sucesores, para reducir el número de diócesis en Italia y racionalizar sus fronteras en términos de cambios modernos de población y escasez de clérigos, la diócesis de Ancona se unió a  la diócesis de Osimo por decreto de la Sagrada Congregación de Obispos de la Curia Papal, el 30 de septiembre de 1986. Su nombre debía ser Archidioecesis Anconitana-Auximana.  La sede de la diócesis debía estar en Ancona.  La antigua catedral de Osimo debía tener el título honorífico de co-catedral, y su capítulo debía ser el Capitulum Concathedralis.  Debía haber una sola curia episcopal, un seminario, un tribunal eclesiástico;  y todo el clero debía ser incardinado en la diócesis de Ancona-Osimo.^[7]

Catedral y capilla

La catedral de Ancona sufrió daños considerables en la Primera Guerra Mundial, cuando la armada austriaca bombardeó el puerto de Ancona en mayo de 1915.^[8]

En 816, el emperador Ludovico Pío celebró un consejo en Aix, en el que se le ordenó que los cánones y las canonesas vivieran juntos de acuerdo con un conjunto de reglas (cánones, regular). En el sínodo romano del de Papa Eugenio II de noviembre de 826, se ordenó que los cánones vivieran juntos en un claustro al lado de la iglesia. En 876, el Concilio de Pavía decretó en el Canon X que los obispos deberían encerrar los Cánones: uti episcopi in civitatibus suis proximum ecclesiae claustrum instituant, in quo ipsi cum clero secundum canonicam regulam Deo militepraesumantnt, et sacerdotes suos ad hoc constringant, ut ecclesiam non relinquant et alibi habitare praesumant.^[9]

La historia más temprana de la Capilla de S. Cyriaco es sin documentación. Sin embargo, en 1179, el papa Alejandro III emitió un toro, confirmando al archidiácono y sus colegas en el Capítulo todos los derechos, privilegios y propiedades que poseían. En el toro menciona su derecho a las ofrendas hechas en ciertos altares de la catedral, que habían sido otorgados por los obispos Transbertus, Marcellinus y Bernardus. Por lo tanto, la Capilla existía a fines del siglo XI.^[10]

El obispo Gerardus fijó el número máximo de canónigos en la Capilla de la catedral a doce. Luego obtuvo una bula del papa Honorio III en 1224 que confirmó su acción.^[11] Desde los primeros tiempos hubo tres dignidades: el archidiácono, el arcipreste y el primicerio.^[12]

En 1622, la Capilla de la Catedral de S. Cyriaco estaba compuesto por dos dignidades y doce canónigos.^[13] En 1710, además de los doce canónigos, había cuatro dignidades: estos incluían el primicerius, el archdeacon y el arcipreste.^[14] En 1746, había tres dignidades.^[15]

La iglesia colegiata de S. Maria della Piazza en Ancona también fue atendida como Capilla, compuesta por un Rector y seis Canónigos.^[16]

Sínodos

Un sínodo diocesano era una reunión irregular, pero importante, del obispo de una diócesis y su clero. Su propósito era (1) proclamar generalmente los diversos decretos ya emitidos por el obispo; (2) discutir y ratificar medidas sobre las cuales el obispo decidió consultar con su clero; (3) publicar estatutos y decretos del sínodo diocesano, del sínodo provincial y de la Santa Sede.^[17]

El obispo Luigi Galli (1622-1657) presidió un sínodo diocesano en Ancona en 1654.^[18] El sínodo diocesano fue celebrado por el cardenal Giannicolò Conti (1666-1698) del 4 al 5 de noviembre de 1674. ^[19] El cardenal Marcello d'Aste (1700-1709) celebró un sínodo diocesano en Ancona en 1708;  Sus Constituciones fueron publicadas en 1738.^[20] El cardenal Giovanni Battista Bussi (1710-1726) presidió un sínodo diocesano en la catedral de Ancona del 15 al 18 de septiembre de 1726.^[21] El cardenal Bartolomeo Massei (1731-1745) celebró un sínodo diocesano en la catedral de S. Cyriaco del 26 al 28 de octubre de 1738.^[20] El cardenal Giovanni Ottavio Bufalini (1766-1782) celebró un sínodo diocesano del 1 al 3 de septiembre de 1779.^[22]

Del 13 al 15 de noviembre de 1883, el cardenal Achille Manara celebró un sínodo diocesano en la catedral de Ancona.^[23]
