Diocese of Bergamo

History

A suffragan of the Archdiocese of Milan, the Diocese of Bergamo (Latin: Dioecesis Bergomensis; Italian: Diocesi di Bergamo; Lombard: Diocesi de Bergum) belongs to the Latin Church in Italy. Its position carried a cost: Bergamo stood where the mainland interests of the Republic of Venice met the territory of the Duchy of Milan, and since the French and the Holy Roman Empire regularly contested that duchy, the result was repeated military operations.
