Roman Catholic Diocese of Carpi

Roman Catholic Diocese of Carpi

The Italian Catholic diocese of Carpi is in Emilia Romagna, Italy. It is a suffragan of the archdiocese of Modena-Nonantola.[1]

History

Carpi belonged originally to the Countess Matilda (1046-1115), from whom it passed in 1115 to the Holy See. From 1215 to 1319 it was subject to Modena and from the latter date until 1525 was ruled by the Pio, vassals of the Holy See.

Under Pope Julius II it became immediately dependent on the Holy See, having previously been under the jurisdiction of Modena. Carpi was created a see only in 1779, by Pope Pius VI, the first bishop being Francesco Benincasa.[2]
