In the middle Ages, in particular between the X - XIV centuries, the Diocese of Salerno was among the most important in southern Italy. Its earliest records date back to the late V century and during the X it is elevated to archdiocese; so the city of Salerno became the center of a large diocese, among the largest of Southern Italy. This essay reconstructs the history of diocese and its public symbols (like the construction of the cathedral), demonstrating consistency with that of other Italian dioceses but, at the same time, also highlighting some specificity resulting from more general historical dynamics of Salerno and role played in the southern part of Italy.

Abstract
In the middle Ages, in particular between the X - XIV centuries, the Diocese of Salerno was among the most important in southern Italy. Its earliest records date back to the late V century and during the X it is elevated to archdiocese; so the city of Salerno became the center of a large diocese, among the largest of Southern Italy. This essay reconstructs the history of diocese and its public symbols (like the construction of the cathedral), demonstrating consistency with that of other Italian dioceses but, at the same time, also highlighting some specificity resulting from more general historical dynamics of Salerno and role played in the southern part of Italy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
