The Italian Catholic archdiocese of Lecce ((ラテン語:Archidioecesis Lyciensis)) in Apulia, southern Italy, has existed as a diocese since 1057. It has been an archdiocese since 1980, when it became the metropolitan of the archdiocese of Otranto, reversing the previous position.〔(''Catholic Hierarchy'' page )〕 ==History== It was known to the ancients as Lupiæ. In the time of the Normans, Lecce became the seat of a county, some of its counts being famous, notably Tancred of Lecce, who contested with Emperor Henry VI the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and Gautier de Brienne, cousin of Tancred. A bishop of Lecce is first mentioned in 1057, in the person of Teodoro Bonsecolo. Other notable bishops were: *Roberto Vultorico (1214), who restored the cathedral; *Tommaso Ammirati (1429); Ugolino Martelli (1511), a linguist; *Giambattista Castromediani (1544), who founded the hospital and other institutions for children and the poor; *Luigi Pappacoda (1639), who rebuilt the cathedral, which contains a marble statue of him; and *Antonio Pignatelli (1672), later Pope Innocent XII, who founded the seminary of Lecce. 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 Archdiocese of Lecce」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
