Zuglio (Friulian: Zui) is a comune (municipality), former bishopric and Latin Catholic titular see in the Regional decentralization entity of Udine in the northeastern Italian autonomous region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, located about 110 kilometres (68 mi) northwest of Trieste and about 45 kilometres (28 mi) northwest of Udine, in the Val Bût.

Its territory includes the pieve (parish church) of San Pietro in Carnia, one of the oldest churches in Friuli. Zuglio is also home to an archaeological museum including remains from the old Roman town (Iulium Carnicum) and the whole Carnia.

Ecclesiastical history

• The Diocese of Zuglio (Italian) or Iulium Carnicum (in Latin) was established in 380 AD (or later according to the source) on territory -originally
  suffragan at its elevation to (metropolitan) Patriarchate of Aquileia in 560. The strategic position on the Iulia Augusta (connecting Aquileia, by Monte Croce Carnico, to Aguntum in Noricum
  ) brought wealth and extended jurisdiction
• The barbaric invasions made the inhabitants flee the city, first probably translating their basilica and episcopal see up to San Pietro mount but abandoning Zuglio in 705 after a terrible raid by the
  Cividale
  but his successor, Amatore, was chased there to in 737 by Patriarch Callixtus of Aquileia, who made Cividale his patriarchal see.
• It was suppressed in 740 at bishop Amatore's death, its territory being merged into the
  Diocese of Belluno
  .
