History
Roughly 120 km (75 mi) directly east of Rome, in Italy's Abruzzi region, lies the Latin Church Diocese of Sulmona-Valva (Latin: Dioecesis Sulmonensis-Valvensis); Corfinio (Valva) sits 14 km north-northwest of Sulmona. The present configuration dates from 1986, when the two dioceses were united into one. The combined see is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of L'Aquila.
