The Diocese of Forlì-Bertinoro (Latin: Dioecesis Foroliviensis-Brittinoriensis) is a Roman Catholic ecclesiastical territory in Romagna, Italy. Until 1986 it was known as the Diocese of Forlì, in existence perhaps from the fourth century. In that year the Diocese of Bertinoro was united to it. The diocese is suffragan to the Archdiocese of Ravenna-Cervia.[1]
