Roman Catholic Diocese of Teggiano-Policastro


The Italian Latin Catholic Diocese of Teggiano-Policastro, in Campania, has existed since 1850, under its present name since 1986. In that year the Diocese of Diano-Teggiano was united with the diocese of Policastro.
The diocese is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Salerno-Campagna-Acerno. Its cathedral episcopal see is the Marian Cattedrale di S. Maria Maggiore e S. Michele Arcangelo, in Teggiano. The current bishop is Antonio De Luca.

History

On 29 September 1850, Pope Pius IX established the Diocese of Diano–Teggiano
with the episcopal see at Diano, at the instance of king Ferdinand II of the Two Sicilies, on territories assembled for its Metropolitan the Archdiocese of Salerno, from the bishopric of Cava and from the see of Capaccio–Diano. He ordered the bishop of Capaccio to fix his residence in the town of Diano; thenceforth the see was to be known as Capaccio and Diano.
But under the second bishop, Domenico Fanello, Capaccio was again separated from Diano and united with the Diocese of Vallo, in which town the bishop now resides. In 1882 Diano received the name of Teggiano.
On 1976.09.08 it lost territory to establish the Diocese of Tursi-Lagonegro.
On 1986.09.30 it was renamed as Diocese of Teggiano–Policastro, having gained territory from the suppressed Diocese of Policastro, whose name was incorporated while its former cathedral was made a Co-cathedral.
