The Italian Catholic Diocese of Chioggia (Latin: Dioecesis Clodiensis) is in the Veneto. It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Venice.[1][2]
History
Chioggia in antiquity was known as Fossa Clodia; in the Middle Ages as Clugia. In 1106, Enrico Grancarolo, Bishop of the island of Malamocco, then nearly deserted, transferred his see to Chioggia.
Other bishops were:
- Giacomo Nacchiante (1544)
- the Dominican Marco Medici (1578), a theologian at the Council of Trent
- Gabriello Fiamma (1584), one of the greatest orators of his time.
Cardinal Pietro Bembo was a canon of the cathedral.[3]
