The Italian Catholic Diocese of Lanusei (Latin: Dioecesis Oleastrensis) is in Sardinia; before 1986 it was the diocese of Ogliastra. It is a suffragan of the archdiocese of Cagliari.[1][2][3]
History
Ogliastra was formerly under the Archbishop of Cagliari. Pope Leo XII, at the petition of King Charles Felix of Sardinia, by a bull of 11 November, 1824, erected Ogliastra into a diocese, suffragan of Cagliari, with the Capuchin Serafino Carchero for its first bishop.
Tortoli, the episcopal seat, was in the district of Lanusei. Other bishops were:
- Giuseppe Paderi
- Emanuele Virgilio, previously Vicar-General of the diocese of Venosa.[4]
