The Italian Catholic diocese of Fidenza, in the province of Parma, was until 1927 the historical diocese of Borgo San Donnino. It is a suffragan of the archdiocese of Modena-Nonantola.[1]
History
Borgo San Donnino became an episcopal see in 1601, under Pope Clement VIII, having until then been governed ecclesiastically by a provost with full faculties, subject directly to the Holy See. The last provost, Papiro Picedi da Castel Vezzano, was the first Bishop of Borgo San Donnino.
Other bishops were:
- Alfonso Pozzi (1620);
- Ranuccio Scoti (1626), papal nuncio under Pope Urban VIII, particularly to Switzerland;
- Filippo Casoni (1650), who urged Ferdinando Ughelli to write his Italia Sacra;
- Alessandro Parravicini, a Benedictine (1660);
- Gaetano Garimberti (1675);
- Alessandro Roncovieri (1700);
- Gerardo Giandemaria (1719);
- Girolamo Baiardi (1753);
- Alessandro Garimberti (1776)
