The Diocese of Nocera Umbra was a Catholic diocese in Umbria, Italy (Nocera Umbra in the Province of Perugia specifically) that was united in 1915 with the Diocese of Gualdo Tadino to form the Diocese of Nocera Umbra-Gualdo Tadino. In 1986, this was united with the Diocese of Assisi, to become the Diocese of Assisi-Nocera Umbra-Gualdo Tadino.
History
Traditionally the founding bishop was Saint Crispoldus, one of the seventy disciples sent out by the Apostles, a claim considered doubtful due to the Germanic origin of his name.
The city of Nocera was destroyed in 546 by Totila, and again destroyed by the Lombards in the middle of the 8th century.
Authentic Bishops were Saint Felix (412) and Liutardus (824); others were:
In 1669, the cathedral was dedicated to S. Rinaldo, and had a Chapter composed of two dignities (the Provost and the Archdeacon, neither of whom had a prebend) and ten Canons. The entire diocese contained some 20,000 inhabitants, and the city of Nocera about 1,000. In 1768, the cathedral, dedicated to the Assumption of the Body of the Virgin Mary into Heaven, was administered by a Chapter, composed of two dignities (the Provost and the Archdeacon) and ten Canons.
