Poggio Mirteto
Piazza Martiri della LibertÃ
Outside the walls of the old medieval settlement, in 1641, work commenced on the construction of a new church, dedicated to the Assumption of Mary. It was first blessed in 1684, inaugurated to religious ceremonies in 1721 and consecrated on the 3rd October 1779 by Mons. Contessini. Cardinal Luigi Lambruschini obtained permission from Pope Gregory XVI, in 1837, to move the Farfa Seminary from San Salvatore Maggiore to Poggio Mirteto and to have the town elevated to the statutes of a city. In 1841 Poggio Mirteto was created See of a Diocese and its parish church of Santa Maria Assunta became a cathedral.
In 1925 the Diocese of Poggio Mirteto was fused with the Suburbican Diocese of Sabina forming the present structure.
