The Diocese of Savona-Noli (Latin: Dioecesis Savonensis-Naulensis) is a Latin diocese of the Catholic Church in northern Italy. It was historically the Diocese of Savona, from the tenth century. In 1820 the Diocese of Noli was united to the Diocese of Savona. It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Genoa.
History
It is claimed, dubiously, that Bishop Bernardus transferred the seat of the diocese of Vado to Savona in 966, and that the action was confirmed by Pope Gregory V in 995. There is no evidence for those statements.
Bishop Guido Lomello attended the Third Lateran Council of Pope Alexander III in March 1179, and subscribed the acts of the council in the company of the other suffragans of Archbishop Algisius of Milan.
In 1230, the bishop of Savona attended a provincial council of Archbishop Henricus of Milan.
In 1239, Cardinal Giacomo da Pecorara, suburbicarian Bishop of Palestrina, was sent by Pope Gregory IX to France as papal legate, to deal with the Albigensian heresy. When he stopped in Savona, he removed the parish of Noli from the diocese of Savona with papal authorization, and established a new diocese of Noli. He assigned it as a suffragan of the archdiocese of Genoa, even though Savona remained a suffragan of the diocese of Milan. On 25 April 1249, Pope Innocent IV confirmed the city status of Noli, and the cathedral status of S. Paragorius.
In 1542, the senate of Genoa, which had control over Savona, ordered the destruction of the cathedral of S. Maria and numerous other buildings to build a wall, a gateway and fortifications. The destruction was completed by 1545. The cathedral Chapter relocated its services to the parish church of S. Paolo. In 1544, Pope Paul III ordered that the church of S. Francesco should be elevated to cathedral status and the adjacent Franciscan convent converted into an episcopal palace. The dilapidated medieval church was destroyed in 1589, to make way for a new cathedral. The new building was completed in 1602 and dedicated by Bishop Pietro Francesco Costa on 24 April 1605 in honor of the Assumption of the body of the Virgin Mary into Heaven (S. Maria Assunta).
On 8 December 1820, with the bull "Dominici Gregis", Pope Pius VII joined the diocese of Savona and the diocese of Noli in one bishop, aeque personaliter under the title "Savonensis et Naulensis." He cited as justification the small number of faithful and the diocese of Noli's inadequate income.

Following the Second Vatican Council, and in accordance with the norms laid out in the council's decree, Christus Dominus chapter 40, Pope Paul VI ordered consultations among the members of the Congregation of Bishops in the Vatican Curia, the Italian Bishops Conference, and the various dioceses concerned.
On 18 February 1984, the Vatican and the Italian State signed a new and revised concordat. Based on the revisions, a set of Normae was issued on 15 November 1984, which was accompanied in the next year, on 3 June 1985, by enabling legislation. According to the agreement, the practice of having one bishop govern two separate dioceses at the same time, aeque personaliter, was abolished. The Vatican continued consultations which had begun under Pope John XXIII for the merging of small dioceses, especially those with personnel and financial problems, into one combined diocese.
On 30 September 1986, Pope John Paul II ordered that the dioceses of Savona and Noli be merged into one diocese with one bishop, with the Latin title "Dioecesis Savonensis-Naulensis". The seat of the diocese was to be in Savona, whose cathedral was to serve as the cathedral of the merged diocese. The cathedral in Noli was to have the honorary title of "co-cathedral"; the Chapter of Noli was to be a Capitulum Concathedralis. There was to be only one diocesan Tribunal, in Savona, and likewise one seminary, one College of Consultors, and one Priests' Council. The territory of the new diocese was to include the territory of the suppressed diocese. The new diocese was a suffragan of the archdiocese of Genoa.
