Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Campobasso-Boiano
- Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Campobasso-Boiano
-
The Italian Catholic archdiocese of Campobasso-Boiano became an archdiocese in 1973 and a metropolitan see in 1976. The historical diocese of Boiano was renamed diocese of Boiano-Campobasso in 1927. It was suffragan to the archdiocese of Benevento.[1]
History
The first recorded bishop of Boiano is Adalberto (1071). Others were:
- Poliziano (1215) who consecrated the cathedral;
- Giovanni (1226), who decorated the facade at his own expense, as recorded in an inscription;
- Silvio Pandoni (1489), who restored the work of Giovanni;
- Cardinals Franciotto Orsini (1519) and Carlo Carafa (1572), who adorned the cathedral with costly furnishings;
- Celestino Bruni (1653), theologian and preacher.
After the death of Bishop Nicolò Rosetti (elected in 1774), differences between the Holy See and the Kingdom of Naples prevented the appointment of a successor until 1836, when Giuseppe Riccardi was appointed.[2]
