The Roman Catholic Diocese of Città di Castello (Latin: Dioecesis Civitatis Castelli o Tifernatensis) is a Latin suffragan bishopric in the ecclesiastical province of the metropolitan Archdiocese of Perugia-Città della Pieve, in the central Italian region of Umbria.[1][2]

Its cathedral episcopal see is a Minor basilica: Basilica Cattedrale di Ss. Florido e Amanzio Basilica, dedicated to Saints Floridus (the diocesan patron saint) and Amantius, in Città di Castello. The province and diocese have a Marian second Minor Basilica: Santuario-Basilica della Madonna del Transito Santuario, in Canoscio.

Statistics

As per 2014, it pastorally served 62,600 Catholics (96.9% of 64,600 total) on 820 km² in 60 parishes and 10 missions with 69 priests (51 diocesan, 18 religious), 11 deacons, 153 lay religious (21 brothers, 132 sisters) and 4 seminarians.

History

During the persecution of Diocletian, St. Crescentianus, a Roman knight, and ten others suffered martyrdom at Tifernum. The bishopric was erected circa 450 AD. The first-known bishop of this see was Ennodius, present at a Roman council (465) under Pope Hilary. In 550, Fantalogus, by order of the Ostrogothic king Totila, took and destroyed the city then known as Tifernum or Civitas Tiberina. Città di Castello was later rebuilt around a castle, giving origin to the name used today. At the time of the sack of the city by Fantalogus, the bishop was Florius, later a friend of Gregory the Great.

In 711 Arian Longobards put to death the bishop of the city, Albertus, and his deacon Britius.

In 590 it gained territory from the suppressed Diocese of Sant'Angelo in Vado.

By the Donation of Pepin (752), it became subject to the Holy See. It lost territories in 1013, to establish the Abbacy nullius of Sansepolcro, and on 1325.06.19 to establish the Diocese of Cortona. In 1375 Città di Castello joined in the insurrection of other cities of the Papal States. Cardinal Robert of Geneva (later antipope as Clement VII), undertook to recapture it with Breton mercenaries, but was repulsed. Under Pope Martin V, however, it was taken by Braccio da Montone (1420). Later, Nicolò Vitelli, with the help of Florence and Milan, became absolute ruler.

In 1474 Pope Sixtus IV sent there his nephew, CardinalGiuliano della Rovere (later Pope Julius II). After fruitless negotiations he laid siege to the city, but Vitelli did not surrender until he learned that the command of the army had been given to Duke Federigo of Urbino. The following year Vitelli tried unsuccessfully to recapture the city; fear of Cesare Borgia alone induced him to desist.[3]

On 1515.09.22 it lost more territory to the Abbacy nullius of Sansepolcro.
