The diocese of Alife-Caiazzo is a Roman Catholic ecclesiastical territory in Campanioa, southern Italy, created in 1986. In that year the historic diocese of Alife was united with the diocese of Caiazzo. The diocese is a suffragan of the archdiocese of Naples.[1]
History
The old diocese of Alife was made up of twelve communes in the province of Caserta, Archbishopric of Benevento. The name of a Bishop of Alife appears for the first time among the signatories of the Roman Synod of 499, in the time of Pope Symmachus (Clarus episcopus Ecclesiœ Allifanœ subscripsi); see "Monumenta Germaniæ Historica," auct. Antiquiss., XII, 400.[2]
