Co-cathedral in Osimo

The Archdiocese of Ancona-Osimo (Latin: Archidioecesis Anconitana-Auximana) is a joint ecclesiastical territory and metropolitan see of the Catholic Church in the Marche region of Italy.[1][2]

It has existed in this form since 1986, when the historical Archdiocese of Ancona was united with the Diocese of Osimo.

The archbishop has his episcopal throne in the Cathedral of Ancona, while the Cathedral of Osimo has the status of a co-cathedral.

In the 17th, 18th, and 19th Centuries, the Archbishop of Ancona was frequently a Cardinal. One Archbishop, Prospero Lambertini, rose to the Papacy as Pope Benedict XIV, serving as Archbishop of Bologna between his service in Ancona and as pontiff.
