Description
A diocese in southern Italy, suffragan of Beneventum, whose earliest bishop was St. Castus, of uncertain date, whom local legend places in the fourth century. Later bishops include Leo, a monk intruded and deposed by Agapetus II in 946, and the Franciscan Luca, exiled by King Manfred in 1226.
Pietro dell' Aquila, bishop in 1348, was noted for learning, and the Moriconda bishops of 1582 and 1717 both restored the cathedral, the later one also rebuilding the episcopal residence. The diocese counts 58 parishes with 130,000 souls, 160 secular priests and three religious houses, a compact southern see with a long episcopal roll.
