The diocese of Cefalù is a Roman Catholic ecclesiastical territory in Sicily, southern Italy. It is a suffragan of the archdiocese of Palermo.[1]
History
The first bishop of Cefalù was Nicetas who, in 869, assisted at the Eighth General Council held at Constantinople for the trial of Photius. When Roger I of Sicily, rebuilt the city, Tocelmo was bishop.
Among its bishops were:
- Arduino II, who suffered exile twice on account of his opposition to Emperor Frederick II;
- Nicolò (1352), who died in the prison of Castel Grassario
- Fra Francesco of the ducal house of Gonzaga (d. 1587), founder of the first seminary opened in Sicily.[2]
