The Italian Catholic Archdiocese of Perugia-Città della Pieve (Template:Lang-la) was historically the Diocese of Perugia. It became the Archdiocese of Perugia in 1882, but without suffragans. It acquired suffragan dioceses in 1972. It was united in 1986 with the Diocese of Città della Pieve.[1][2]
History
In the martyrologies are found the names of the martyrs Constantius (Constantinus, whom some believe to have been a bishop), Florentius, and Felicissimus, who died at Perugia. Under the Emperor Decius one Decentius was bishop, according to the tradition; but the first bishop of whom there is any certain knowledge was St. Herculanus, killed by King Totila in 546; many admit there were two bishops and saints of this name, of whom the first is said to have died either in one of the great persecutions or under Julian the Apostate (Cappelletti).
St. Herculanus was succeeded by
- Joannes, who consecrated Pope Pelagius I (566);
- Aventius (591);
- Laurentius (649);
- Benenatus (679);
- St. Asclepiodorus (about 700), whose relics were later taken to Metz;

- Antonio Ferreri (1506), who suspected by Julius II died in the Castle of S. Angelo in 1508;
- Cardinal Agostino Spinola (1510), under whom the canons of the cathedral, who since the twelfth century had lived according to the Rule of St. Augustine, were relieved of that rule;
- Giacomo Simoneta (1535), a cardinal;
