Diocese of Larino

The Italian Catholic diocese of Larino, in the province of Campobasso, Southern Italy, existed until 1986. In that year it was united into the diocese of Termoli-Larino. It was a suffragan of the archdiocese of Benevento.[1]

History

Larino is a mile from the site of the ancient Larinum, destroyed by war and epidemic, and is first mentioned as an episcopal see in 668.

Among the bishops were

  • Saint Pardus, traditionally named as the first bishop and said to have died in 650;
  • Giovanni Leone (1440), canonist and theologian;
  • Fra Giacomo de' Petruzzi, a philosopher;
  • Belisario Baldovino (1555), present at the Council of Trent, founder of the seminary and episcopal palace;
  • the Oratorian Gian Tommaso Eustachi (1612);
  • Carlo M. Pianetti (1706), who restored the cathedral, with its marble façade;
  • Gian Andrea Tri (1726), historian of Larino.[2]
