Roman Catholic Diocese of Città della Pieve

The former Italian Catholic Diocese of Città della Pieve, in Umbria, existed until 1986.

[1][2] Città della Pieve is a city of obscure origin in the province of Perugia.

Pope Clement VIII re-established it as a separate see, immediately subject to the Holy See, in 1601, the first bishop being Fabrizio Paolucci of the Counts of Cabulo.

In 1642, while Giovanni Battista Carcarasio was bishop, the city was sacked by the German soldiers of the Duke of Parma.

The cathedral, dedicated to Saints Gervasius and Protasius, is said to have been erected at the exhortation of St. Ambrose.
