History
In the Veneto of northern Italy, the Diocese of Belluno-Feltre (Latin: Dioecesis Bellunensis-Feltrensis) took its present shape in 1986. Twice before, from 1197 to 1762 and again from 1818 to 1986, the dioceses of Belluno and Feltre had shared a single bishop under the name diocese of Belluno e Feltre. Today the diocese is a suffragan of the Patriarchate of Venice.
What is kept by invitation
The record above is published because it is public: what this see is, when it was erected, who holds its chair, and where it stands among its neighbours.
The working record is not. The chancery's address, telephone and email, the clergy of the see, and the hours of Mass, confession and adoration in the parishes within it are kept for members, and a person reads every request.
