Co-cathedral in Ferentino

The Italian Catholic Diocese of Frosinone-Veroli-Ferentino (Latin: Dioecesis Frusinatensis-Verulana-Ferentina) has existed since 1986. In that year, the Diocese of Ferentino was united into the Diocese of Veroli-Frosinone; which was the name of the historic Diocese of Veroli from 1956. It is immediately subject to the Holy See.^[1]

History

No bishop of Veroli is known before Martinus (743).

Among the bishops were:

• Agostino (1106) and Faramondo (1160), who had been abbots of Casamari;
• Giovanni (1223), the restorer of clerical discipline;
• Ennio Filonardi (1503), who was distinguished in the nunciature;
• Gerolamo Asteo (1608), a Conventual;
• Domenico de Zaulis (1690), who restored the cathedral and other churches;
• Antonio Rossi (1786), who, with his whole chapter, took the oath of allegiance to Napoleon.^[2]
