The Italian Catholic Diocese of Tricarico (Latin: Dioecesis Tricaricensis) is in Basilicata. It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Potenza-Muro Lucano-Marsico Nuovo.[1][2]

History

Tricarico Cathedral was erected in 968 by Polyeuctos, Patriarch of Constantinople. The names of the bishops of Tricarico, then of the Greek Rite, are not known.

Of the Latin bishops after the Norman conquest the first was Arnoldo (1068); others were:

  • the theologians Palmerio di Gallusio (1253) and Fra Nicolo;
  • Onofrio de Santa Croce, ill-fated legate of Paul II to Liège in 1467–68;
  • Cardinal Pier Luigi Caraffa (1624), who restored the cathedral and founded the seminary.

From 1805 to 1819 the see remained vacant. The diocese was in the past a suffragan of the archdiocese of Acerenza and Matera.[3]
