The Diocese of La Spezia-Sarzana-Brugnato ((ラテン語:Dioecesis Spediensis-Sarzanensis-Brugnatensis)) is a Roman Catholic ecclesiastical territory in Liguria, northern Italy, created in 1986. It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Genoa. The historic diocese of Luni (earlier Luna) was united to the Diocese of Sarzana in 1465, and then to the Diocese of Brugnato in 1820, to form the current diocese; its name has been changed more than once.〔(''Catholic Hierarchy'' )〕 The current bishop is Luigi Palletti who was designated to be the new ordinary by pope Benedict XVI on October 20, 2012. ==History== The episcopal see of Luni dates at least from the fifth century. In the sixth century St. Terentius and St. Venantius, a friend of Gregory the Great, flourished. Under Bishop Felerandus the relic of the Blood of Christ is said to have been brought to Luni. St. Ceccardus (892) was murdered by barbarians. When Luni was abandoned, the episcopal see was fixed at Sarzana, then at Sarzanello, and finally at Castelnuovo. In 1202 Pope Innocent III transferred the see to Sarzana, Gualtiero being the bishop. In 1306 Dante went to Sarzana, and succeeded in settling a dispute between Bishop Antonio Camulla and the Marquess Malaspina. The poet's sojourn here inspired a few ''terzine'' of the ''Divine Comedy''. In 1355 Emperor Charles IV. conferred on the bishops of Luni the title of prince of the Holy Roman Empire. Antonio M. Parentuccelli (1495), a cousin of Pope Nicholas V, built the episcopal palace and the church of S. Maria delle Grazie. Other bishops were: * Cardinal Simone Pasqua (1561); * Giovanni Selvaco (1590); *Giulio Cesare Lomellino (1757), reformer of the diocese; *Vincenzo M. Maggioli (1795), put to flight by the Jacobins. In 1787 the diocese of Pontremoli, and in 1821 the diocese of Massa Ducale were separated from Luni-Sarzana, but the diocese of Brugnato, separated from Luni by Pope Innocent II in 1133, was added in 1822. The diocese of Luni-Sarzana was directly subject to the Holy See, but Brugnato was a suffragan of Genoa.〔(''Catholic Encyclopedia'' article )〕 ==Bishops of La Spezia-Sarzana-Brugnato since 1837== *Francesco Agnini † (19 May 1837 confirmed - 8 Mar 1853 died) *Giuseppe Rosati † (22 April 1867 ordained - 5 Sep 1881 died) *Giacinto Rossi, O.P. † (18 Nov 1881 appointed - 29 Jan 1899 died) *Giovanni Carli † (19 Jun 1899 appointed - 5 Jan 1921 died) *Bernardo Pizzorno † (7 Mar 1921 appointed - 6 Aug 1926 died) *Giovanni Costantini † (5 May 1929 ordained - 26 Jul 1943 resigned) *Giuseppe Stella † (7 Sep 1945 appointed - 3 Sep 1975 retired) *Siro Silvestri † (3 Sep 1975 appointed - 7 Dec 1989 retired) *Giulio Sanguineti (7 Dec 1989 appointed - 19 Dec 1998 appointed, bishop of Brescia) *Bassano Staffieri (10 Jul 1999 appointed - 6 Dec 2007 retired) *Francesco Moraglia (3 Feb 2008 ordained - 31 Jan 2012 appointed, Patriarch of Venice) *Luigi Palletti (2 Dec 2012 installed - ''present'') 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roman Catholic Diocese of La Spezia-Sarzana-Brugnato」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
