History
At the southernmost point of the Laguna veneta lies the Diocese of Chioggia (Latin: Dioecesis Clodiensis), a Latin diocese of the Catholic Church in the Veneto. For centuries it answered to the Patriarchate of Grado, but on 8 October 1451 Pope Nicholas V, in the bull Regis Aeterni, suppressed that patriarchate and passed its powers and privileges to the Archdiocese of Venice. Chioggia has been a suffragan of Venice ever since.
