Roman Catholic Diocese of San Miniato

Roman Catholic Diocese of San Miniato

The Italian Catholic diocese of San Miniato is in Tuscany. It is a suffragan of the archdiocese of Florence.[1]

History

In 1248 San Genesio was completely destroyed. In 1397 the town was taken by Florence. From 1248 the chapter was transferred from San Genesio to San Miniato, and in 1526 the head of the chapter obtained the episcopal dignity. In 1408 the Republic of Florence wished to have it made an episcopal see, being then a suffragan of the archdiocese of Lucca.

Finally in 1622 San Miniato became a see. Its first bishop was Franceseo Nori (1624).[2]
