The Diocese of Tursi-Lagonegro (Latin: Dioecesis Tursiensis-Lacunerulonensis) is a Roman Catholic ecclesiastical territory in Basilicata, southern Italy. It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Potenza-Muro Lucano-Marsico Nuovo.[1][2]

History[]

Anglona was destroyed in the days of Queen Johanna of Naples; the diocese was officially changed in name from Diocese of Anglona to Diocese of Anglona-Tursi in 1545, Tursi being in the diocese. The current name dates from 1976.

Mention of the diocese of Anglona in history is very late; all knowledge of its early origin and ecclesiastical organization is lost. Only in 1077 do we find Simon, a bishop of Anglona, who was present at the ceremony of donation of some fields, made by and his wife Ginarga to the Basilian monastery of Sts. Elias and Anastasius.[3]
