The Diocese of Fiesole (Latin: Dioecesis Fesulana) is a Latin diocese of the Catholic Church in Tuscany, central Italy, whose episcopal see is the city of Fiesole. Fiesole was directly subject to the pope until 1420, when the archdiocese of Florence was created and Fiesole was made one of its suffragan bishops.[1] It is still a suffragan of the Metropolitan Archbishopric of Florence.[2][3]
