History
Straddling the civil regions of Piedmont and Liguria in northwest Italy, the Latin diocese of Acqui (Latin: Dioecesis Aquensis) occupies a place the ancient Romans knew as Aquae Statiellae, a name sometimes confused with Aquae Sentiae (Aix-en-Provence) and Aquae Augustae (Dax), both of which also had bishops. The see remained subordinate to the Province of Milan until 1817, when Pope Pius VII transferred it to the Province of Turin. As a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Turin it belongs to the ecclesiastical region of Piedmont.

Conferenza Episcopale Italiana promotes 20 September as National Day for priest support
The Italian Episcopal Conference has established September 20 as the National Day for awareness of clergy support. The service for the promotion of economic support to the Catholic Church uses this day to remind the faithful that supporting priests helps sustain the communities they serve. The initiative notes that contributions, which may be tax-deductible, assist in the daily work and presence of the clergy within their pastoral communities.
