The Italian Catholic Diocese of Chioggia (Latin: Dioecesis Clodiensis) is in the Veneto, at the southernmost point of the Laguna veneta. Until 1451, the diocese was a suffragan of the Patriarchate of Grado. On 8 October 1451, in the bull "Regis Aeterni", Pope Nicholas V abolished the patriarchate of Grado, and transferred its powers and privileges to the Archdiocese of Venice. Since then, Chioggia has been a suffragan of Venice. Chioggia in antiquity was known as Fossa Clodia; in the Middle Ages it was called Clugia. In 1110, Enrico Grancarolo, Bishop of Malamocco, then nearly deserted, transferred his see to Chioggia. The bishops continued to use the title Bishops of Malamocco down through Bishop Domenico Guillari (1139). More information...
