The Diocese of Caiazzo is a former Roman Catholic ecclesiastical territory in the province of Caserta, southern Italy, abolished in 1986, when it was united into the Diocese of Alife-Caiazzo. It was a suffragan of the archdiocese of Capua. ==History== According to legend, Christianity was introduced by St. Priscus, first Bishop of Capua. The first known bishop of Caiazzo was Arigisus, the exact time of whose episcopate is uncertain; however, as the name indicates, it could not have been before the beginning of the seventh century, when the Lombards settled in that region. Others were: *Stefano, who had been Abbot of S. Salvatore in Capue (died 1025), and his successor Ferdinando; *Jacopo (died 1253), exiled by Emperor Frederick II; *Giuliano Frangipane, elected in 1472; *Vincio Maffa, elected in 1507, theologian at the Fifth Lateran Council (1512); *Ascanio Parisani, elected in 1528 *Fabio Mirto, elected in 1537, who took part in the Council of Trent, and was Apostolic nuncio to Paris at the time of his death (1587); *Ottavio Mirto Frangipane, elected in 1572; *Orazio Acquaviva, who was captured by the Turks at the battle of Lepanto; *Taddeo, elected in 1641. 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 Caiazzo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
