The Diocese of Volterra (Latin: Dioecesis Volaterrana) is a Latin diocese of the Catholic Church in Tuscany, central Italy. It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Pisa.[1][2]

History

Volterra was an ancient Etruscan town, later conquered by the Romans.

According to the Liber Pontificalis, Volterra was the birthplace of St. Linus,[3] the immediate successor of St. Peter.[4] Nothing is known of its Christian origins. Justus (560), along with his brother Clement and Ottaviano, is one of the three patrons of the diocese of Volterra, and was involved in the Schism of the Three Chapters.[5]

In the Carolingian period it belonged to the Marquisate of Tuscany; with the approval of Henry, son of Frederick Barbarossa, its governance passed into the hands of the bishop, until his temporal authority was suspended by the commune. In the wars or factions of the 13th century, Volterra, being Ghibelline, was continually embroiled with the Florentines, who captured it in 1254, but won permanent control only in 1361.

The diocese of Volterra was immediately subject to the Holy See until 1856, when it became a suffragan of Pisa.

Diocesan synods

A diocesan synod was an irregularly held but important meeting of the bishop of a diocese and his clergy. Its purposes were to proclaim the various decrees already issued by the bishop, to discuss and ratify measures on which the bishop chose to consult with his clergy, and to publish statutes and decrees of the diocesan synod, of the provincial synod, and of the Holy See.[6]

Bishop Guido Servidio (1574–1598) presided over a diocesan synod in the cathedral of Volterra on 8–10 May 1590, and had the constitutions of the meeting published.[7] Bishop Orazio degli Albizzi (1655–1676) held a diocesan synod on 2 October 1657, and published the acts;[8] he held another synod on 11 November 1674.[9] A diocesan synod was held by Bishop Ottavio del Rosso (1681–1714) in the cathedral on 14–15 June 1684, the acts of which were published.[10] He held his second synod in the cathedral of Volterra on 26–27 April 1690; its decrees were also published.[11]

  20. ^ The name of Bishop Andreas occurs only in connection with the transfer of the remains of S. Octavianus the Hermit to the cathedral of Volterra. It is found in the sixth reading in the special Office approved by Pope Leo X in 1519: "Dicitur ibi Andreas episcopus Volaterranus supra Sancti corpus, in cathedralem Volaterranum translatum, aram erexisse." Joannes Limpinus remarks that the year was 822, and points out that the text is full of anachronisms. Jean Pien; Jean Stiltingh; Jean Van De Velde (1746). Acta Sanctorum Septembris (in Latin). Vol. Tomus primus. Antwerp: Apud Bernardum Albertum Vander Plassche. p. 396, column 1. Cf. Lanzoni, p. 562. Scipione Ammirato claims that Bishop Andrea began his forty year reign in 760, that he transferred the remains of S. Ottaviano, and that he instituted those Canons of the cathedral Chapter called the "Canons of S. Ottaviano", all without reference to proof; his dates would make a transfer of the remains in 822 impossible: Scipione Ammirato (1637). Vescovi di Fiesole, di Volterra e d'Arezzo (in Italian).
