Description
Termoli stands on Italy's Adriatic coast, with a small harbour near the Petraglione's mouth. Anciently called Buca, it was put to fire and sword by Turks in 1567. It holds a fine Gothic cathedral. It first appears as a diocese in 946, when the usurper Benefetto was forced out by order of Agapitus II. Its earliest known legitimate bishop was Scio in 969. Successors include Jacopo Cini, a Dominican author of a commentary on the Sentences in 1379, and Domencio Girada, a learned Servite theologian in 1381.
Federico Merzio, bishop in 1602, collaborated with Baronius. In 1818 the see united with Guardia Alferia, a small town near Cerrato whose bishops ran from 1075 to 1775. Termoli is suffragan of Benevento and holds 19 parishes, 54 secular priests, and one convent of nuns.
