Roman Catholic Diocese of Recanati and Loreto

The Diocese of Recanati-Loreto was a Roman Catholic diocese in Italy.

It was founded in either 1591 or 1592[1] by a merger of the Diocese of Loretto and the Diocese of Recanati. The name was changed to the Diocese of Recanti in 1934.

In 1986 it merged with the Diocese of Macerata-Tolentino, the Diocese of Osimo e Cingoli and the Diocese of San Severino to form the Diocese of Macerata-Tolentino-Recanati-Cingoli-Treia.[2]
