Suburbicarian See Of Palestrina

The Suburbicarian Diocese of Palestrina () is a Latin suburbicarian diocese centered on the comune of Palestrina in Italy.

The current bishop of Palestrina is Mauro Parmeggiani, who was appointed by Pope Francis on 19 February 2019. Prior to his appointment, he had served as Apostolic Administrator following the resignation of his predecessor, Bishop Emeritus Domenico Sigalini, on 31 July 2017 due to age.

History

Palestrina was looted in 1473.

During the 17th century, the comune of Palestrina was the family territory of a number of Italian noble families including the Barberini, Colonna and d'Este families (which regularly intermarried). Members of these families are represented throughout the list of diocese Bishops, especially between 1600 and 1800. Barberini Pope Urban VIII appointed a number of relatives and close supporters to the Palestrina diocese and governmental positions.

Palestrina is one of the six suburbicarian dioceses of Rome, each traditionally assigned to a cardinal as titular bishop. Although this is a high-ranking position—one of only six in the Order of Cardinal Bishops—since 1972, the title has been purely honorary. The governance of the diocese is now entrusted to a residential bishop, as ordained in the Motu Proprio "Suburbicariis Sedibus" and the cardinal bishop no longer exercises actual authority over its administration.
