- Diocese of Poggio Mirteto
-
The former Italian Catholic diocese of Poggio Mirteto, in Perugia, existed from 1841 to 1925.[1] In that year it was united into the diocese of Sabina to form the suburbicarian see of Sabina e Poggio Mirteto.
Poggio Mirteto was under the jurisdiction of the Abbey of Farfa, which passed to the Diocese of Sabina, and from which the territory of the See of Poggio Mirteto was taken in 1841. The old collegiate church became the cathedral, and a seminary was established. The first bishop was Nicolo Crispigni.[2] The last was Cardinal Gaetano de Lai.
