Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Pescara-Penne
- Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Pescara-Penne
-
The archdiocese of Pescara-Penne was a Roman Catholic ecclesiastical territory in central Italy. It was created in 1982, by a name change and elevation in rank from the diocese of Penne e Pescara.[1] That was in turn created in 1949, when the historic diocese of Penne-Atri was split up, with Atri going to form the diocese of Teramo-Atri. The diocese of Atri had been united with the diocese of Penne in 1252.[2]
The seat of the archbishops is in the Pescara Cathedral.[1]
