Roman Catholic Diocese of Satriano e Campagna
(Diocese), Italy
The Diocese of Satriano e Campagna (Latin: Dioecesis Satrianensis et Campaniensis) was a Roman Catholic diocese located in the town of Satriano in the Province of Catanzaro in the Calabria region of southern Italy. In 1818, the diocese of Campagna was united with the Archdiocese of Conza to form the Archdiocese of Conza e Campagna. The diocese of Satriano was completely suppressed, and its territory incorporated into the diocese of Campagna.
In 1968, the title of Bishop of Satriano, though not the diocese itself, was restored as the name of a titular see.
Diocese of Campagna
The city of Satriano, which was the seat of a bishop, was completely deserted. At the request of the Emperor Charles V, in his capacity as King of Naples, Pope Clement VII erected the Diocese of Campagna on 20 May 1525, uniting it with the diocese of Satriano, aeque personaliter (two dioceses with one and the same bishop). Both were assigned to the metropolitanate of Salerno. The new bishop of Campagna was the Bishop of Satriano, Cherubino Caietani, who was installed as bishop of Campagna on 19 June 1525. The city of Campagna belonged to the Marchesi Grimaldi.
The Collegiate Church of S. Maria della Pace in Campagna, which had eight dignities and eighteen canons, was promoted into the cathedral church for the new diocese.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Roman Catholic Diocese of Satriano e Campagna” as (Diocese), Italy. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as (Diocese), Italy. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q27778622. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1818, 1968 and 1525.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
