| Diocesi di Faenza-Modigliana (in Italian) | |
The Diocese of Faenza-Modigliana (Latin: Dioecesis Faventina-Mutilensis) is a Latin Church diocese of the Catholic Church in Italy.[1][2] It was created in 1986 through a merger of the diocese of Faenza and the diocese of Modigliana.[2][1]
Originally the Diocese of Faenza (Faventia) was a suffragan (subordinate) of the Archbishop of Ravenna.[3] In 1582 the diocese of Bologna was raised to the status of a metropolitan archbishopric by Pope Gregory XIII in the bull Universi orbis of 10 December 1582, and Faenza was made a suffragan of the archdiocese of Bologna.[4]
