History
In Tuscany, the Latin Church maintains the Archdiocese of Siena-Colle di Val d'Elsa-Montalcino (Latin: Archidioecesis Senensis-Collensis-Ilcinensis), whose archbishop is seated at the Cathedral of the Assumption in Siena. For centuries, until 1459, the diocese answered immediately to the Holy See (Papacy) and its bishops attended the Roman synods; in that year Pope Pius II raised Siena to a metropolitan archbishopric.
