The Diocese of Rimini (Latin: Dioecesis Ariminensis) is a Latin Church ecclesiastical territory or diocese of the Catholic Church in Emilia Romagna, Italy. From earliest times, it was a suffragan to the Holy See, despite repeated attempts by the Diocese of Ravenna to claim it as a suffragan diocese.[1] Since 1604, however, it has been a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Ravenna-Cervia.[2][3]
The episcopal see is in the cathedral of Rimini, Tempio Malatestiano, dedicated to the Holy Spirit (Sancta Columba). The cathedral was staffed and administered by a Chapter, composed of two dignities (not "dignitaries"), the Provost and the Archdeacon, and twelve Canons.[4]
From 17 November 2022, Nicolò Anselmi is the 111º bishop of di Rimini. He succeeded to Francesco Lambiasi who had reached the age of retirement.[5]
