-It became an episcopal seat, when Bishop Grimaldo of Grumentum established his residence there, retaining, however, his former title. There were bishops of Grumentum as early as the sixth century: it is said that a Saint Laberius or Saverius first preached the [[Gospel_(liturgy)|Gospel]] there. Other bishops were Enrico (1131), who finished the cathedral; Blessed Reginaldo of Viperno, a [[Dominican_Order|Dominican]] (1275); Pietro (1329), several times [[papal legate]]; the [[friar]] Paolo Caselli (1614), who restored the cathedral. In 1818 the [[diocese]] was merged with that of [[Potenza]].<ref>{{CathEncy|wstitle=Marsico Nuovo and Potenza}}</ref>
