Roman Catholic Diocese of Luni

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Luni was a Roman Catholic bishopric with see in Luni (part of Ortonovo municipality), Liguria (northwestern Italy). The name of the former diocese was revived to designate a titular see, beginning in 1976.[1]

History

... On 30 June 1183, the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa granted Bishop Pietro the county of Luni, the shoreline, and the port of Amelia (Ameglia).[2]

Bishop Walterius (1193–1212) and the magistrates of Sarzana engaged in extensive consultations to make explicit all of their mutual rights and obligations as the Bishop moved his official seat to Sarzana, where in fact the bishops had been living for some time. The pact was signed on 24 June 1201.[3] Bishop Walterius and the Canons of the Cathedral also negotiated a pact, which was approved by Pope Innocent III on 7 March 1202 in the bull In eminenti sedis.[4]

Though the bishops of Luni had been resident at Sarzana long before the official transfer of the Cathedral, the diocese continued to be called the Diocese of Luni and the bishop continued to be called the Bishop of Luni down to 1465, when the name of Sarzana was added both to the diocesan name and the episcopal title.

...

joined in personal union (aeque principaliter) with Brugnato 1820.11.25–1975.08.04 and with La Spezia 1929.01.12–1975.08.04.
