History
The exact date of the founding of the department of Adria has not yet been established. According to legend, its founder was Apollinaris , bishop of Ravenna , who lived at the end of the II century . But even with the known influence of the exarchate of Ravenna on the diocese of Adria, there are no documents confirming this tradition. For the first time in a written source, the diocese of Adria is mentioned in an act of Emperor Valentinian III (419 - 455), in which John Angelopus, Metropolitan of Ravenna, was given jurisdiction over 24 bishopric-suffraganships, including Adria. Caesar Baronius in his Annales ad annum 432 says that this act was a fake and was drawn up between the 7th and 8th centuries.
The acts of the Lateran Council of 649 under Pope Martin I are the first document that speaks of the diocese of Adria. The list of participants includes Bishop Gallinostius Hadrianensis Episcopus .
The inscription on the baptistery font of Santa Maria della Tombé in Adria dates back to the 7th-8th centuries and contains the name of Bono, the third bishop of Adria. The architrave of the gates of the Baptistery of San Giovanni, to the left of the facade of Santa Maria della Tomba, is the name of John I, the fourth bishop of Adria. From now on, information on the bishops of Adria is contained in written sources.
On March 14, 863, Pope Nicholas III granted Bishop Leo the right to exercise secular power in the diocese. Initially, the bishops of Adria controlled only the county of Havello, later they also received a number of titles and lands bequeathed to benefactors.
In 920, due to frequent raids of the Gentiles from the north and constant floods, Bishop Paul left Adria and moved to Rovigo. Pope John X, with a bull, Curtem Bonevigo quae vocatur Rodige, confirmed bishop secular authority in this region. Until now, researchers have not come to a consensus on whether this document confirms the transfer of the department from Adria to Rovigo. Around 1200, the bishops lost secular power in the diocese, which passed first into the hands of aristocrats (Este and Kararezi), then to the Venetian Republic , France , the Austrian Empire , and finally Italy .
Over the centuries, the borders of the diocese of Adria have repeatedly changed. On September 7, 1792 , after the abolition of Wangaditz Abbey, the Senate of the Venetian Republic joined the diocese of 12 parishes located in Badia (San Giovanni), Barucella, Salvaterra, Crocetta, Villafora, Rasa, Barbulo, Sagvedo, Cavazzana, San Martino di Venetsze, Borsea and Fratta.
Pope Pius VII Bullae De salute dominici gregis of May 1, 1818 and Cum non gravibus of March 9, 1819 , again changed the boundaries of the diocese, after which the diocese of Adria included 78 parishes and 150,000 parishioners.
On July 7, 1909, by the decree of the Ea semper fuit of the Holy Congregation of the Consistory, the department of Adria was moved to Rovigo. Upon learning of this, the inhabitants of Adria attacked Bishop Tommaso Pio Bogiani, for which an interdict was imposed on the city, which lasted fifteen days.
On September 30, 1986, the diocese received its current name as the diocese of Adria-Rovigo, and the cathedral in Rovigo was elevated to the dignity of a co-cathedral.
