The Italian Catholic Diocese of Mazara del Vallo ((ラテン語:Dioecesis Mazariensis)) is in Sicily. It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Palermo.〔(''Catholic Hierarchy'' page )〕 ==History== In the struggle of the Saracens against the Normans for the possession of Sicily, Mazara was hotly contested, especially in 1075 when Roger I of Sicily emerged victorious. The episcopal see of Lilybaeum was then transferred to Mazzara. Of the bishops of Lilybaeum the best known is Paschasinus, legate of Pope Leo I at the Council of Chalcedon (451). The first bishop of Mazara was Stefano de Ferro, a relative of Count Roger (1093). The cathedral was then founded, and later embellished by Bishop Tristiano (1157). Other bishops were *Cardinal Bessarion (1449) *Giovanni de Monteaperto (1470), who restored the cathedral and founded a library *Bernardo Gasco (1579), of Toledo *Cardinal Giandomenico Spinola (1637) *the Franciscan Francesco M. Graffeo (1685).〔(''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 Mazara del Vallo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
