List of the bishops of Luni

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of bishops of Luni includes those church dignitaries who, after the establishment of the bishopric in 177 BC Founded in the 4th century BC, the city of Luna has been known as "Luno" or "Luni" in Italian usage since the Middle Ages and is now an archaeological site in the province of La Spezia , Italy . The actual Latin title of " Bishop of Luni " has remained Lunensis episcopus to this day, which means "Bishop of Luna".

In 1058, most of the residents left the once flourishing economic center which, after centuries of attacks by Germanic tribes, Islamic pirates and Vikings, ended up silting up and lost its main business leg, the port, and malaria spread. In 1204 the bishopric was moved from the largely abandoned city to Sarzana . Most of the former residents of Luna / Luni already lived there.
