Roman Catholic Diocese of Nocera Umbra-Gualdo Tadino

The city of Nocera was destroyed in 546 by Totila, and again destroyed by the Lombards in the middle of the 8th century.^[4]

Authentic Bishops were Felix (412) and Liutardus (824); others were:

• Giovanni Marcolini (1446), who restored the cathedral;
• Francesco Luigi Piervissani (1800), exiled in 1809 because he refused the oath of allegiance to Napoleon.

In 1669, the cathedral was dedicated to S. Rinaldo, and had a Chapter composed of two dignities (the Provost and the Archdeacon, neither of whom had a prebend) and ten Canons. The entire diocese contained some 20,000 inhabitants, and the city of Nocera about 1,000.^[5] In 1768, the cathedral, dedicated to the Assumption of the Body of the Virgin Mary into Heaven, was administered by a Chapter, composed of two dignities (the Provost and the Archdeacon) and ten Canons.^[6]
