Description
Ceneda is a diocese in Treviso province, on land once Venetian, set on a slope of the Rhaetian Alps in picturesque country. Anciently it bore the names Ceneta or Acedum. Attila pillaged it in 452, and Totila did so a century later. Under the Lombards a duke governed it, and later it joined the marquisate of Treviso. From 994 the bishop of the city was also its temporal lord, keeping power over the city and a few villas until about 1768.
The Gospel is said to have reached the region in the first century through St. Fortunatus, a deacon of Hermagoras of Aquileia. The earliest known bishop, Vindemius, attended the Synod of Grado in 579, and Ursinus attended the Council of Rome in 680. Since 1818 Ceneda has been suffragan to Venice, counting 183,000 people, 118 parishes, and 500 churches and chapels.
