Based in Camerino, a city in the Province of Macerata within the Apennines of Italy's central Marche region, the Archdiocese of Camerino-San Severino Marche (Latin: Archidioecesis Camerinensis-Sancti Severini in Piceno) is a Latin see and a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Fermo. Its present form dates to 1986, when the historic archdiocese of Camerino (raised to that rank in 1787) was united with the diocese of San Severino.
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.
