Roman Catholic Diocese of Jesi

One Canon, however, named Montanario, was loyal to the Holy See and had escaped to Ancona from Jesi; he notified the Pope that he elected the Franciscan Gualterio.

[9] In its current form, the cathedral is the result of restorations and renovations carried out by Bishop Antonio Fonseca.

Cardinal Caprara, afterwards Archbishop of Milan, who concluded the Concordat with Napoleon, was Bishop of Jesi (1800–02).

He was succeeded by Antonio Odescalchi, who was deported to Milan by the French in 1809, dying in exile in Cesano Boscone in 1812.

[14] On 15 August 1972, by the Bull Qui apostolico officio, Pope Paul VI created the new ecclesiastical province of Ancona, and granted its archbishop the status of Metropolitan.

The ecclesiastical province was assigned the suffragan dioceses of Jesi (Aesina) and Osimo (Auximana).

[15] A diocesan synod was an irregularly held, but important, meeting of the bishop of a diocese and his clergy.

[16] Bishop Marco Agrippa Dandini (1599–1603) held a diocesan synod in Jesi on 16 September 1600.
