- Roman Catholic Diocese of Cività Castellana
The Italian Catholic diocese of Cività Castellana, in Lazio, has existed in the current form since 1986. In that year, the diocese of Nepi e Sutri was united into the diocese of Cività Castellana, Orte e Gallese, dating from 1805 (the name change was made in 1991). It is a suffragan of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Rome. [ [http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/dcica.html "Catholic Hierarchy" page] ]
History
The first known bishop of Cività Castellana is Crescentius. He discovered, in 998, the relics of Martianus and Johannes. In 1252 the diocese of Gallese was incorporated with that of Cività Castellana. Reestablished in 1562, Gallese was again suppressed in 1573.
In 1437 the diocese was united with the diocese of Orte. Orte (Orta, the ancient Horta) is some distance north of Rome.
Thirty-eight bishops of Cività Castellana are known previous to its union with Orte. Subsequent bishops include:
*Angelo Pichinoli (1486), nuncio to Hungary;
*Angelo Gozzadini (1621)
*Gianfrancesco Tenderini (1736). [ [http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03798a.htm "Catholic Encyclopedia" article] ]
