history

The Archbishop of Salerno first mentioned the diocese Marsico Nuovo in a bull in 1058 . The diocese of Marsico Nuovo is the successor to the former Grumentum diocese , which existed in the 5th century and is now a titular diocese of the Roman Catholic Church. After the city of Grumentum was destroyed by the Saracens , the bishopric was first temporarily and then finally relocated to Marsico. Bishop Johannes signed in 1095 as Episcopus civitatis Marsicensis sedis Grumentinae ("Bishop of the city of Marsico, the seat of Grumentum").

In the course of the church reorganization in the Kingdom of Naples after the end of Napoleonic rule, the Diocese of Marsico Nuovo was merged with the Diocese of Potenza aeque principaliter by Pope Pius VII in 1818 with the Bull De utiliori Dominicae vineae . The formal union of the dioceses of Potenza, Muro Lucano and Marsico Nuovo to the Archdiocese of Potenza-Muro Lucano-Marsico Nuovo took place on September 30, 1986 with a decree of the Holy See . This also ended the existence of the diocese Marsico Nuovo under canon law .
