The Archdiocese of Rossano–Cariati (

Archdiocese of Cosenza-Bisignano.[2][1]

History

In 597, the Diocese of Rossano was established from the former Diocese of Thurio. The first known bishop of this see is Valerianus, Bishop of the "Ecclesia Rosana" in the Roman Council of 680.[3]

The

Emperor Otto II captured Rossano temporarily from the Byzantines, who had made it the capital of their possessions in Southern Italy. It preserved its Greek character long after its conquest by the Normans.[3]

The

Madonna and Child dated to somewhere between about 580 and the first half of the 8th century. The Co-Cathedral of the Archangel Michael in located in Cariati
.

In 1460, the Diocese was elevated to an Archdiocese.[1]

On Juni 27, 1818, with the

Cerenzia, Strongoli and Umbriatico were incorporated in the Diocese of Cariati.[5]

The famous

Codex Rossanensis was discovered in 1879 in the Rossano cathedral sacristy.[3]

On February 13, 1919, the Diocese had territory transferred to create the

Eparchy of Lungro for the Italo-Albanian Catholic Church.[1] On April 4, 1979, the Archdiocese was merged with the Diocese of Cariati to become the Archdiocese of Rossano e Cariati. On September 9, 1986, the Archdiocese was renamed to Archdiocese of Rossano–Cariati[2] On January 30, 2001, the Archdiocese of Cosenza-Bisignano was elevated to a Metropolitan See with Rossano-Cariati as a suffragan diocese.[6]

Inspired by Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato si', the nuns of the Convent of Saint Augustine in Rossano developed in conjunction with ten sponsoring organizations, the Rossano Garden Park project. They arrived in Rossano in 2009 from Eremo di Lecceto in Siena; St. Augustine's is the first convent of Augustinian nuns in Calabria. Experts assisted with the planting of a wide variety of trees, carefully selected and compatible with the altitude, climate, and native flora.[7]

Rite

In the tenth century, or perhaps earlier, the

Santa Maria in Patiro. In 1571 the Greek Rite was abandoned in the cathedral, and half a century afterwards throughout the city.[citation needed
