Roman Catholic Diocese of Nuoro
- Roman Catholic Diocese of Nuoro
-
The Italian Catholic diocese of Nuoro is in Sardinia. It is a suffragan of the archdiocese of Cagliari. Historically it was the diocese of Galtelli until 1779, and then the diocese of Galtelli-Nuoro until 1928.[1]
History
Galtelli was an episcopal see in 1138, when Pope Innocent II made it a suffragan of the archdiocese of Pisa; later, it was directly subject to the Holy See. In 1495, it was suppressed by Alexander VI, and its territory united to the diocese of Cagliari. In 1787, at the request of King Victor Emmanuel III, it was re-established, but the bishop continued to live at Nuoro. Among its bishops was Fra Arnolfo de Bissalis (1366).
