The Catholic Diocese of Como (Latin: Dioecesis Comensis) in northern Italy has existed since the fourth century. It is a suffragan of the archdiocese of Milan. The bishops’ seat is in Como Cathedral.Local legend credits the conversion of Como to the apostolate of Hermagoras of Aquileia (died c. 70). Until 1528 Como was indeed a suffragan of the patriarchate of Aquileia (later of Venice) and followed the Aquileian Rite. In 1528 Como was placed under the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Milan.
