History

In the administrative province of Turin, in Piedmont, Northwestern Italy, the Diocese of Pinerolo (Latin: Dioecesis Pineroliensis) serves as a Latin Catholic see suffragan to the Metropolitan archbishopric of Turin. The bishop is seated in the Cattedrale di S. Donato in Pinerolo, a church dating from the 9th century with an architecturally significant campanile. Pinerolo also holds a former cathedral, now called the Chiesa San Verano ad Abbadia Alpina, and a minor basilica, the Gothic Basilica of San Maurizio.
