The Italian Catholic Archdiocese of Campobasso-Boiano (Latin: Archidioecesis Campobassensis-Boianensis) became an archdiocese in 1973 and a metropolitan see in 1976. The historical diocese of Boiano was renamed diocese of Boiano-Campobasso in 1927. It was suffragan to the archdiocese of Benevento.[1][2]

History[]

The first recorded bishop of Boiano is Adalberto (1071). Others were:

  • Poliziano (1215) who consecrated the cathedral;
  • Giovanni (1226), who decorated the facade at his own expense, as recorded in an inscription;
  • (1489), who restored the work of Giovanni;
  • Cardinals Franciotto Orsini (1519) and Carlo Carafa (1572), who adorned the cathedral with costly furnishings;
  • Celestino Bruni (1653), theologian and preacher.

After the death of Bishop (elected in 1774), differences between the Holy See and the Kingdom of Naples prevented the appointment of a successor until 1836, when was appointed.[3]
