The Latin Catholic Diocese of Muro Lucano, in the southern Italian region of Basilicata, existed until 1986. In that year it was united into the archdiocese of Potenza-Muro Lucano-Marsico Nuovo.[1] [2]

History[]

The first Bishop of Muro Lucano of whom there is mention was Leo (1049). Its bishop Antonio (1376) became a partisan of the antipope Clement VII; he was therefore driven by Carlo of Durazzo to seek refuge at , whereupon Clement VII suppressed the Diocese of Muro. In 1418, however, was appointed to this see; he was learned in civil and canon law; among his successors were Flavio Orsini (1560), who became a Cardinal; the poet (1643), who later became Bishop of Gallipoli, his native town; (1674), founder of a congregation of priests for the care of the sick of the diocese. The see was suffragan of the archdiocese of Conza.[3]
