History


It was created in 1919, as an eparchy directly subject to the Holy See, for members of the Italo-Albanian Catholic Church, the Catholics of the Byzantine Rite who had emigrated, mostly from Epirus and Albania, to Sicily and Calabria.
The diocese received territory from the Archdiocese of Rossano, Diocese of Cassano all'Jonio and Diocese of San Marco e Bisignano.
