Roman Catholic Diocese of Urbania and Sant'Angelo in Vado

The former Italian Catholic Diocese of Urbania and Sant’Angelo in Vado, in the Marche, existed from 1836 to 1986. In the latter year, it was united into the Archdiocese of Urbino, to form the Archdiocese of Urbino-Urbania-Sant'Angelo in Vado.^[1][2]

History

Sant'Angelo in Vado in 1635 became a city, and then an episcopal see. Urbania in 1280 was demolished by the Ghibellines. It was restored again by the Dominican bishop, Guglielmo Durante and called Castel Durante; it was included in the Duchy of Urbino, and contained a magnificent ducal palace. I

At the beginning of 1635 S. Angelo was an archpresbyterate nullius, subject to the Abbot of the Monastery of S. Cristoforo of Castel Durante, to whom the Archpresbyterate of Castel Durante was also subject. In that year Pope Urban VIII erected the two towns into dioceses, changing the name of Castel Durante to Urbania, and uniting them aeque principaliter under Onorato degli Onorati, who governed it for forty-eight years. Other bishops were: Gian. Vincenzo Castelli, O.P. (1711), who restored the cathedral of Urbania, and Paolo Zamperoli, O.P. (1779) sent into exile under Napoleon, dying there.^[3]
