Diocese of Novara
The Diocese of Novara (Latin: Dioecesis Novariensis) is a Latin Church diocese of the Catholic Church in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy. It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Vercelli.
According to the hagiographical "Life of Gaudentius", written c. 700, he was born in Ivrea, and came to Novara, where a priest named Laurentius was preaching and baptizing. When Laurentius was killed, he took up the task of catechizing, with the blessing of Bishop Eusebius of Vercelli, in whose territory Novara was situated. There he was noticed as a future episcopal candidate by Bishop Ambrose of Milan during a visit to Novara. Gaudentius was consecrated a bishop by Ambrose's successor, Bishop Simplicianus (397–401). He served in Novara for twenty years.
In 972, the Holy Roman Emperor Otto I granted the dominium of the town of Novara and twenty-four miles surrounding the town to Bishop Aupaldo and his successors, the Bishops of Novara. The bishops therefore enjoyed the title of Count as well as the same rights as a Count of the Empire.
In 1059, Pope Nicholas II summoned the archbishop of Milan and his suffragans to attend his synod, which met in Rome in April. Among the suffragan bishops who attended was Bishop Oddo of Novara.
In 1352, Bishop Guilelmo Amidano (1342–1355) had all of the regulations concerning the Chapter of Novara collected and arranged in a single volume.
In 1394 and 1395, Bishop Pietro Filargi successfully negotiated with King Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia, the King of Rome, the recognition of Gian Galeazzo Visconti as Imperial Vicar and the first Duke of Milan. King Wenceslaus also granted Bishop Pietro of Novara the title of Princeps Sacri Imperii.
Novara lost part of its territory on 16 March 1530, when Pope Clement VII established the Diocese of Vigevano.
Giovanni Antonio Serbelloni, Cardinal of S. Giorgio in velabro, Bishop of Novara, did not attend the First Provincial Council of Milan on 14 October 1565, under the presidency of Cardinal Carlo Borromeo, Archbishop of Milan. Bishop Romolo Archinto (1574–1576) attended the Fourth Provincial Synod of Milan in 1576, and signed the decrees. Bishop Pomponio Cotta (1577–1579) attended and subscribed the decrees of the Fifth Provincial Synod of Milan in March 1579. Bishop Francesco Bossi (1579–1583) was unable to attend the Sixth Provincial Synod of Milan in May 1582, but sent his Vicar General, Giovanni Paolo Albergono, as his procurator. Bishop Carlo Bescapè (1593–1615) was present at the Seventh Provincial Synod of Milan in May 1609 and subscribed the decrees.
