Roman Catholic Diocese of Vulturara e Montecorvino

The Diocese of Vulturara e Montecorvino was a Roman Catholic diocese located in the city of Volturara Appula in the province of Foggia in the Apulia region of southeast Italy. The bishopric, which already existed in the 10th century, was united with that of Diocese of Montecorvino in 1433. Giuseppe Cappelletti gives detailed information about most of its bishops. In 1818, as part of a reorganization of the dioceses within the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, the diocese ceased to exist as a residential see and its territory became part of the diocese of Lucera. It is now included in the Catholic Church's list of titular sees.
