Roman Catholic Diocese of Fiorentino

On 12 July 1053, Pope Leo IX issued the bull "Cum Summae Apostolicae", in which he confirmed the privileges and possessions of the Church of Benevento for Archbishop Voldaricus.

[3] On 22 January 1055, Pope Victor II transferred those dioceses of the ex-Byzantine capitanate to the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Benevento by papal bulla.

[4] The bishop of Fiorentino, whose personal name is unmentioned, was present at the consecration of the church at Montecassino by Pope Alexander III on 1 October 1171.

[7] In the summer of 1255, Pope Alexander IV sent a papal army against the supporters of Frederick's son Manfred in Apulia and the Capitanata.

Gathered at Canosa, they set off on 26 September, following the via di Capitinata, and raviging along the way both Dragonara and Fiorentino, and killing every Saracen they met.
