Bishop of Sarsina

The Italian Catholic diocese of Sarsina was a Roman Catholic ecclesiastical territory in Emilia-Romagna, northern Italy, seated in Sarsina, in the province of Forlì, which existed until 1986. In that year it was united into the diocese of Cesena.

In the tenth century the bishops obtained the temporal sovereignty of the city of Sarsina and the surrounding district. From 1327 till 1400 it was disputed by the Ordelaffi of Forlì, the popes, and the bishops.

The patron of the city is Saint Vicinius, believed to have been bishop about the year 300.
