The Italian Catholic archdiocese of Cosenza-Bisignano in Calabria has been a metropolitan see since 2001. The Gospel was first preached in Cosenza by missionaries from Reggio. It is pointed out, however, that there is no evidence for such claims, and that the earliest document dates from the early fifth century. The earliest known bishop of Cosenza is Palumbus, a correspondent (599) of Pope Gregory I. In 903, the Emir Ibrahim, in his attempt to conquer Calabria, reached as far as Cosenza, where he died. Under the Lombards, Salerno was the metropolitan, and Cosenza was one of its suffragans. In 994, Pope John XV confirmed the metropolitan status of Salerno. More information...
