Roman Catholic Diocese of Vulturara e Montecorvino


The Diocese of Vulturara e Montecorvino (Latin: Dioecesis Vulturariensis et Montis Corbini) was a Roman Catholic diocese located in the city of Volturara Appula in the province of Foggia in the Apulia region of southeast Italy. The bishopric, which already existed in the 10th century, was united with that of Diocese of Montecorvino in 1433. Giuseppe Cappelletti gives detailed information about most of its bishops. In 1818, as part of a reorganization of the dioceses within the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, the diocese ceased to exist as a residential see and its territory became part of the diocese of Lucera. It is now included in the Catholic Church's list of titular sees.

1433: Formed from the union of the Diocese of Montecorvino and the Diocese of Vulturara
Latin name: Vulturariensis et Montis Corbini
Metropolitan: Archdiocese of Benevento
