Roman Catholic Diocese of Cassano all'Jonio

The Diocese of Cassano all'Jonio is a Roman Catholic diocese in Calabria.^[1][2]

History

It is not known when it became an episcopal see; in 1059 mention is made of a bishop of Cassano, otherwise unknown. In 1096 we read of a bishop known as Saxo (Sassone). Other bishops were:

• Antonello dei Gesualdi (1418), jurist;
• Belforte Spinelli (1432), who while yet a layman assisted at the Council of Constance, under Pope Martin V was sent on important missions, and later renounced the world and retired to Venice, leaving his rich library to the Collegio Spinelli of Padua;
• Cristoforo Giacobazzi^[3] (1523), later Cardinal, called to Rome by Pope Paul III on account of his skill in ecclesiastical affairs;
• Giovanni Angelo Medici (1553), afterwards Pius IV;
• the Englishman, Audoeno Ludovico Cambrone (1588), who was sent by Pope Gregory XIII on different missions, and never resided in Cassano;
• the Franciscan, Deodata de Arze (1614);
• the two Theatines, Paolo Palombo (1617) and Gregorio Caraffa (1648);
• the Augustinians, Luigi Balmaseda (1670) and Vincente de Magistris (1671).
• Pietro La Fontaine
