The Italian Roman Catholic diocese of Conversano-Monopoli ((ラテン語:Dioecesis Conversanensis-Monopolitanus)), in Apulia, has existed since 1986, when the diocese of Monopoli was united with the historic diocese of Conversano. The diocese is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Bari-Bitonto. ==History== Conversano is the ancient Cupersanum. After the invasion of the Normans, it was for a while the seat of a duchy; later, however, it became a fief of the dukes of Atri. The first bishop whose date is certain was Hilarius, present at the Roman synod of 501. Local tradition, however, preserves the name of a previous bishop, Simplicius, who died in 492. No other names are recorded up to the episcopate of Leo, mentioned in a document of 1088. Other bishops were: *the Cistercian Stefano (c. 1266); *Giovanni de Gropi (c. 1283); *Antonio Guidotti (d. 1433); *Paolo de Torcoli (d. 1482); *Romolo de' Valenti (d. 1579); *Giuseppe Palermo, appointed 1658; *Andrea Brancaccia (1681).〔(''Catholic Encyclopedia'' article )〕 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 Conversano-Monopoli」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
