Roman Catholic diocese in Italy
The Diocese of Nuoro (Latin : Dioecesis Nuorensis ) is a Latin Church diocese of the Catholic Church in Sardinia . It is a suffragan of the archdiocese of Cagliari . Historically it was the diocese of Galtellì until 1779, and then the diocese of Galtellì-Nuoro until 1928.[ 1] [ 2]
History
Galtellì was an episcopal see in 1138, when Pope Innocent II made it a suffragan of the archdiocese of Pisa ; later, it was directly subject to the Holy See . In 1495, it was suppressed by Alexander VI, and its territory united to the diocese of Cagliari. In 1787, at the request of King Victor Emmanuel III , it was re-established, but the bishop continued to live at Nuoro . Among its bishops was Fra Arnolfo de Bissalis (1366).
