The Roman Catholic Diocese of Treviso ( Latin Dioecesis Tarvisina , Italian Diocese of Treviso ) is in Italy located diocese of the Roman Catholic Church , based in Treviso .
The diocese was founded in the 4th century. Today it is subordinate to the Patriarchate of Venice as a suffragan .
The diocese borders the Belluno Pre-Alps to the northwest and the Piave River to the east (some parishes are on the left bank due to the changing course of the river); to the west and south it does not follow natural boundaries: it goes from Paderno to Mussolente , then descends towards Tombolo and turns towards Camposampiero and Miranese. The border runs in an easterly direction excluding the municipalities of Venezia and Quarto d'Altino .
In the center of this area is the city of Treviso, the episcopal see where the Cathedral of San Pietro is located.
The diocese therefore only covers part of the province of Treviso (the southwestern part) and also includes large parts of the metropolis of Venice and the province of Padua as well as the municipality of Mussolente in the province of Vicenza.
The area is divided into 265 parishes which are grouped into 14 vicariates.
