The Diocese of Alessandria (Latin: Dioecesis Alexandrinus Statiellorum) is a Roman Catholic ecclesiastical territory in Piedmont, northern Italy. It is a suffragan of the diocese of Vercelli.[2]
History
Alessandria was made a see in 1175 by Pope Alexander III. In a Brief of 30 January 1176, he declared that he selected a bishop without any detriment to the rights of the chapter for the future.
It was suppressed in 1213, and united to the diocese of Acqui in 1405; suppressed in 1803, and re-established as independent in 1817. It was vacant from 1854 to 1867.[3]
