The Italian Catholic Diocese of Trivento (Latin: Dioecesis Triventinus) in Molise, southern Italy, has existed since the tenth century. It is now a suffragan of the archdiocese of Campobasso-Boiano.[1]
History
The earliest bishop of Trivento was St. Castus of an uncertain epoch, the local legend assigning him to the fourth century.
Other bishops were:
- the monk Leo, intruded and deposed by Pope Agapetus II (946)
- Alferius (1109)
- the Franciscan Luca (1226), exiled by King Manfred
- Pietro dell' Aquila (1348)
- Giulio Cesare Moriconda (1582)
- Alfonso Moriconda (1717), a Benedictine who restored the cathedral
Historically the diocese was a suffragan of the archdiocese of Benevento.[2]
