The Italian Catholic diocese of Pescia is in Tuscany. It is a suffragan of the archdiocese of Pisa.[1]
History
In 1519 Pope Leo X withdrew Pescia from the archdiocese of Lucca, raising it to the dignity of a prelacy nullius; and in 1726 it was made a diocese, suffragan of Pisa. Its first bishop was Bartolommeo Pucci (1728). Others were Francesco Vicenti (1773-1801), and Giulio Serafini.[2]
