The Archdiocese of Ravenna-Cervia (Latin: Archidioecesis Ravennatensis-Cerviensis) is an archdiocese of the Catholic Church. It is a metropolitan see of the Latin Church, located in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy.[1]

The cathedral of the archdiocese is the Cathedral Basilica of the Resurrection of Our Lord in Ravenna. There is a co-cathedral in Cervia, the Concattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta (it) ('co‑cathedral of the Assumption of Santa Maria'), which had formerly been the Cervia Cathedral.[2][3]

Pope Benedict XVI appointed Lorenzo Ghizzoni (it) as the metropolitan archbishop of the archdiocese on 17 November 2012, in succession to Giuseppe Verucchi.[4] Ghizzoni continues as the incumbent archbishop as of March 2024[2]

History

Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. The Archdiocese of Ravenna was a Roman Catholic diocese in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The diocese was elevated to an archdiocese in the 6th century.[1] Among its famous archbishops are Saint Peter Chrysologus, a Doctor of the Church, and Saint Guido Maria Conforti, who was canonized as a saint in 2011 by Pope Benedict XVI. The early medieval Ravenna papyri form an important record from the church's chancery between the 5th and 10th century.

The archdiocese was created in 1947 through the merger of the Archdiocese of Ravenna and the Diocese of Cervia.[1] The archdiocese in 2014 had one priest for every 1,830 Catholics.
