The Diocese of Vittorio Veneto (Latin: Dioecesis Victoriensis Venetorum) is a Latin diocese of the Catholic Church in northern Italy, with its see in Vittorio Veneto. It was historically known as Diocese of Ceneda, the name being changed in 1939.[1][2]
Ceneda began as a suffragan of the patriarchate of Aquileia until the latter's suppression in 1751. From 1752 until 1818 Ceneda was a suffragan of the archdiocese of Udine. Since 1818 Ceneda has been in the ecclesiastical province headed by the Patriarchate of Venice. Art from several churches in the diocese is housed in its diocesan museum.
