The Metropolitan Archdiocese of L'Aquila (Latin: Archidioecesis Aquilana is a Latin archdiocese of the Catholic Church in Italy.[1][2] It was erected as the Diocese of Aquila[3] on 20 February 1257 by Pope Alexander IV and promoted to an archdiocese by Pope Pius IX on 19 January 1876. Pope Paul VI elevated it to the rank of a metropolitan archdiocese on 15 August 1972, with the suffragan sees of Avezzano and Sulmona–Valva.

The archdiocese's mother church and the seat of its archbishop is the Cattedrale di SS. Massimo e Giorgio. L'Aquila also contains the Basilica of San Bernardino da Siena, which was granted the honorific title of minor basilica by Pope Pius XII, in an Apostolic Letter "Uberrimos Sane Gratiae" of 20 May 1946.[4] It also contains the church of S. Maria di Collemagio, which was begun in 1283, and consecrated on 25 August 1288.[5]

History Edit

In 1187, in preparation for the crusade, a list of feudal military obligations was drawn up for the use of agents of William II of Sicily. The bishop of Forcono, whose name was Berardus, owed three soldiers for his various fiefs.[6]

Bishop Berardus of Forcona was consecrated on 23 May 1252, by Cardinal Raynaldus dei Conti, who became Pope Alexander IV on 12 December 1254.[7] His diocese was having administrative problems.

Creation of city and diocese Edit

On 6 May 1253, the population of Amiterno and Forcona petitioned the royal councillor Tfommaso da Marerio, to use his influence to have the construction of the new city of Aquilae to be undertaken.[8] In May 1254, Conrad IV, the son of Frederick II, replied with a diploma authorizing the construction, and the destruction of all the castles and fortifications inside the boundaries of the city; free immigration to the new city was granted, so long as people indemnified their former feudal lords.[9] He was frank about his motives. The creation of the city would disconcert the barons of the valley of Aquila who were neglectful of their feudal duties; it would intimidate the rebellious vassals of the Kingdom of Sicily; it would strengthen his northern border against his enemies, one of whom was the pope, who had excommunicated him and was refusing his offers for a peace.

Pope Alexander had obtained information from letters of Pope Innocent IV and of papal legates that the Chapter of the cathedral of Forcona was violation of canon law. On 15 March 1255, therefore, he wrote to the Archpriest Master Angelo, who was a papal chaplain, and the Chapter, pointing out that the number of canons exceeded the canonical upper limit. Some canons, appointed by special mandate of the Holy See, should only be admitted to the privileges of the canonicate when an existing canon resigned or died. Moreover, the appointees must be in Holy Orders.[10]

On 22 December 1256, Pope Alexander IV wrote to the podestà, council, and commune of L'Aquila, who were requesting that, since the towns of Forcona and Amiternum were almost completely deserted, to the advantage of L'Aquila, and since the people of L'Aquila had recently completely rebuilt the church of Ss. Maximus and George, it be made a cathedral by papal authority. Pope Alexander agreed to their request, after consultation with his advisors, and with the concurrence of Bishop Berardus and the Archpriest and canons of the (former) cathedral of Forcona, and transferred the seat of the bishops of Forcona to the cathedral of Ss. Maximus and George in L'Aquila.[11] The same papal bull was reissued on 20 February 1257, with the addition of language delimiting the boundaries of the diocese.[12]

In 1259, the city of Aquila was destroyed by the forces of Manfred, King of Sicily, and the people and their bishop retreated to Focaro.[13] Pope Clement IV (1265–1268) was not eager to see the city rebuilt, a city so associated with the determination of the Hohenstaufen to control the papacy. He therefore supported the local barons, and wrote, probably in 1265,[14] to the new King of Sicily, Charles of Anjou, that the barons were crying out for help against the reemergence of Aquila, and urging the king to take their side.[15] Charles I, however, saw the same advantages as Conrad IV as King of Sicily, and he therefore promoted the reestablishment of Aquila. He was even called the "Reformator".[16] His actions were made easier by the defeat and death of Manfred at the Battle of Benevento on 26 February 1266. Pope Clement gave in, and appointed a new bishop for Aquila on 31 December 1267.

Papal coronation Edit

Main article: 1292–1294 papal election

After Pope Nicholas IV died on 6 April 1292, it was twenty-seven months before the eleven cardinals were able to assemble and agree upon his successor. On 5 July 1294, at Perugia, they elected the 85-year-old Pietro del Murrone, a former Benedictine monk, who had established his own religious order, which came to be called the Celestines. He was not a cardinal, and had recently been living as a recluse in the mountains to the east of Aquila.[17] He enjoyed the patronage and protection of Charles II of Sicily, and was unwilling to go to Perugia, or even to enter the Papal States.

Pietro came to Aquila on 28 July 1194. He was crowned on 29 August 1294, at the church of Santa Maria di Collemaggio, which had been built and was administered by his followers.[18]

On 18 September 1294, still residing at Aquila, Pope Celestine appointed twelve new cardinals.[19] These included two natives of Aquila: Tommaso d'Ocra de Apruntio, a member of the pope's own religious order, Cardinal Priest of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere (who died in 1300); and Pietro d'Aquila, O.S.B., the bishop-elect of Valva-Sulmona, who became the Cardinal Priest of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme (who died in 1298).[20]

Celestine V finally departed Aquila on 6 October, heading for the monastery of Santo Spirito near Sulmona. He took up residence in Naples on 13 November 1294.[21]

14th century Edit

In 1363, a pestilence struck the county and city of Aquila, resulting in the death of 10,000 persons, according to Niccolò di Borbona.[22]

In 1378, a contested papal election in Rome in April and in Anagni in September, produced two popes, Urban VI and Clement VII. Queen Joanna I of Naples supported Pope Clement. Bishop Giovanni Zacchei (1377–1381) of Aquila chose to support Clement VII, and ordered public festivals to celebrate his accession.[23] Around 20 November, on the orders of Urban VI, Ciccantonio di Pretatto entered Aquila in the middle of the night, with armed troops and c. 500 cavalry, and engaged in violent confrontation with the citizens in the piazza of the merchants. Urban's stated motive was "to fortify the Kingdom".[24] THe death of Queen Joanna in May 1382 changed the situation. The death of Urban VI in 1389 more radically affected the situation.

Reorganization Edit

Following the Second Vatican Council, and in accordance with the norms laid out in the council's decree, Christus Dominus chapter 40,[25] Pope Paul VI ordered a reorganization of the ecclesiastical provinces in southern Italy. On 15 August 1972, a new ecclesiastical province was created, with L'Aquila, which had previously been directly subject to the Holy See, as the new metropolitan archbishopric. The diocese of the Marsi (later renamed Avezzano) and the diocese of Valva e Sulmona were appointed suffragans.[26]

Earthquake Edit

In the earthquake of 3 December 1315,[27] the cathedral of Aquila was destroyed. Bishop Filippo Delci (1312–1327) is credited with rebuilding it from the ground up.[28]

The third large earthquake of 1703, which struck on 2 February, damaged the entire city of Aquila, especially the castle, the Palazzo Publico, the cathedral, and the church of S. Bernardino, and resulted in more than 2,500 casualties.[29] The 1915 Avezzano earthquake destroyed 96% of the city of Avezzano and severely damaged much of the province of Aquila; there were estimated to be 30,000 deaths directly caused by the tremors.

The city and diocese of L'Aquila suffered a devastating earthquake in 2009.[30] The dome of the Cathedral collapsed.[31] The dome, triumphal arch, and transept of the church of Santa Maria di Collemaggio collapsed, and the remains of Pope Celestine V were thrown from their tomb.[32]

Therefore, in order to accomplish these aims this sacred synod decrees as follows: 1) The boundaries of ecclesiastical provinces are to be submitted to an early review and the rights and privileges of metropolitans are to be defined by new and suitable norms. 2) As a general rule all dioceses and other territorial divisions that are by law equivalent to dioceses should be attached to an ecclesiastical province. Therefore dioceses which are now directly subject to the Apostolic See and which are not united to any other are either to be brought together to form a new ecclesiastical province, if that be possible, or else attached to that province which is nearer or more convenient. They are to be made subject to the metropolitan jurisdiction of the bishop, in keeping with the norms of the common law. 3) Wherever advantageous, ecclesiastical provinces should be grouped into ecclesiastical regions for the structure of which juridical provision is to be made.

a list of feudal military obligations was drawn up for the use of agents of William II of Sicily The bishop of Forcono whose name was Berardus owed three soldiers for his various fiefs 6 Bishop Berardus of Forcona was consecrated on 23 May 1252 by Cardinal Raynaldus dei Conti who became Pope Alexander IV on 12 December 1254 7 His diocese was having administrative problems Creation of city and diocese Edit On 6 May 1253 the population of Amiterno and Forcona petitioned the royal councillor Tfommaso da Marerio to use his influence to have the construction of the new city of Aquilae to be undertaken 8 In May 1254 Conrad IV the son of Frederick II replied with a diploma authorizing the construction and the destruction of all the castles and fortifications inside the boundaries of the city free immigration to the new city was granted so long as people indemnified their former feudal lords 9 He was frank about his motives The creation of the city would disconcert the barons of the valley of Aquila who were neglectful of their feudal duties it would intimidate the rebellious vassals of the Kingdom of Sicily it would strengthen his northern border against his enemies one of whom was the pope who had excommunicated him and was refusing his offers for a peace Pope Alexander had obtained information from letters of Pope Innocent IV and of papal legates that the Chapter of the cathedral of Forcona was violation of canon law On 15 March 1255 therefore he wrote to the Archpriest Master Angelo who was a papal chaplain and the Chapter pointing out that the number of canons exceeded the canonical upper limit Some canons appointed by special mandate of the Holy See should only be admitted to the privileges of the canonicate when an existing canon resigned or died Moreover the appointees must be in Holy Orders 10 On 22 December 1256 Pope Alexander IV wrote to the podesta council and commune of L Aquila who were requesting that since the towns of Forcona and Amiternum were almost completely deserted to the advantage of L Aquila and since the people of L Aquila had recently completely rebuilt the church of Ss Maximus and George it be made a cathedral by papal authority Pope Alexander agreed to their request after consultation with his advisors and with the concurrence of Bishop Berardus and the Archpriest and canons of the former cathedral of Forcona and transferred the seat of the bishops of Forcona to the cathedral of Ss Maximus and George in L Aquila 11 The same papal bull was reissued on 20 February 1257 with the addition of language delimiting the boundaries of the diocese 12 In 1259 the city of Aquila was destroyed by the forces of Manfred King of Sicily and the people and their bishop retreated to Focaro 13 Pope Clement IV 1265 1268 was not eager to see the city rebuilt a city so associated with the determination of the Hohenstaufen to control the papacy He therefore supported the local barons and wrote probably in 1265 14 to the new King of Sicily Charles of Anjou that the barons were crying out for help against the reemergence of Aquila and urging the king to take their side 15 Charles I however saw the same advantages as Conrad IV as King of Sicily and he therefore promoted the reestablishment of Aquila He was even called the Reformator 16 His actions were made easier by the defeat and death of Manfred at the Battle of Benevento on 26 February 1266 Pope Clement gave in and appointed a new bishop for Aquila on 31 December 1267 Papal coronation Edit Main article 1292 1294 papal electionAfter Pope Nicholas IV died on 6 April 1292 it was twenty seven months before the eleven cardinals were able to assemble and agree upon his successor On 5 July 1294 at Perugia they elected the 85 year old Pietro del Murrone a former Benedictine monk who had established his own religious order which came to be called the Celestines He was not a cardinal and had recently been living as a recluse in the mountains to the east of Aquila 17 He enjoyed the patronage and protection of Charles II of Sicily and was unwilling to go to Perugia or even to enter the Papal States Pietro came to Aquila on 28 July 1194 He was crowned on 29 August 1294 at the church of Santa Maria di Collemaggio which had been built and was administered by his followers 18 On 18 September 1294 still residing at Aquila Pope Celestine appointed twelve new cardinals 19 These included two natives of Aquila Tommaso d Ocra de Apruntio a member of the pope s own religious order Cardinal Priest of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere who died in 1300 and Pietro d Aquila O S B the bishop elect of Valva Sulmona who became the Cardinal Priest of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme who died in 1298 20 Celestine V finally departed Aquila on 6 October heading for the monastery of Santo Spirito near Sulmona He took up residence in Naples on 13 November 1294 21 14th century Edit In 1363 a pestilence struck the county and city of Aquila resulting in the death of 10 000 persons according to Niccolo di Borbona 22 In 1378 a contested papal election in Rome in April and in Anagni in September produced two popes Urban VI and Clement VII Queen Joanna I of Naples supported Pope Clement Bishop Giovanni Zacchei 1377 1381 of Aquila chose to support Clement VII and ordered public festivals to celebrate his accession 23 Around 20 November on the orders of Urban VI Ciccantonio di Pretatto entered Aquila in the middle of the night with armed troops and c 500 cavalry and engaged in violent confrontation with the citizens in the piazza of the merchants Urban s stated motive was to fortify the Kingdom 24 THe death of Queen Joanna in May 1382 changed the situation The death of Urban VI in 1389 more radically affected the situation Reorganization Edit Following the Second Vatican Council and in accordance with the norms laid out in the council s decree Christus Dominus chapter 40 25 Pope Paul VI ordered a reorganization of the ecclesiastical provinces in southern Italy On 15 August 1972 a new ecclesiastical province was created with L Aquila which had previously been directly subject to the Holy See as the new metropolitan archbishopric The diocese of the Marsi later renamed Avezzano and the diocese of Valva e Sulmona were appointed suffragans 26 Earthquake Edit In the earthquake of 3 December 1315 27 the cathedral of Aquila was destroyed Bishop Filippo Delci 1312 1327 is credited with rebuilding it from the ground up 28 The third large earthquake of 1703 which struck on 2 February damaged the entire city of Aquila especially the castle the Palazzo Publico the cathedral and the church of S Bernardino and resulted in more than 2 500 casualties 29 The 1915 Avezzano earthquake destroyed 96 of the city of Avezzano and severely damaged much of the province of Aquila there were estimated to be 30 000 deaths directly caused by the tremors The city and diocese of L Aquila suffered a devastating earthquake in 2009 30 The dome of

1 The boundaries of ecclesiastical provinces are to be submitted to an early review and the rights and privileges of metropolitans are to be defined by new and suitable norms 2 As a general rule all dioceses and other territorial divisions that are by law equivalent to dioceses should be attached to an ecclesiastical province Therefore dioceses which are now directly subject to the Apostolic See and which are not united to any other are either to be brought together to form a new ecclesiastical province if that be possible or else attached to that province which is nearer or more convenient They are to be made subject to the metropolitan jurisdiction of the bishop in keeping with the norms of the common law 3 Wherever advantageous ecclesiastical provinces should be grouped into
