The Italian Catholic Diocese of Trivento (Latin: Dioecesis Triventinus) in Molise, southern Italy, has existed since the tenth century. It is now a suffragan of the archdiocese of Campobasso-Boiano.^[1][2]

History

The earliest bishop of Trivento was St. Castus of an uncertain epoch, the local legend assigning him to the fourth century.

Other bishops were:

• the monk Leo, intruded and deposed by Pope Agapetus II (946)
• Alferius (1109)
• the Franciscan Luca (1226), exiled by King Manfred
• Pietro dell' Aquila (1348)
• Giulio Cesare Moriconda (1582)
• Alfonso Moriconda (1717), a Benedictine who restored the cathedral

Historically the diocese was a suffragan of the archdiocese of Benevento.^[3]
