History
Centered on the comune of Saluzzo in Piedmont, northwestern Italy, the Diocese of Saluzzo (Latin: Dioecesis Salutiarum) is a Latin diocese of the Catholic Church. Its founding on 29 October 1511 was political in motive, meant to transform the Marquisate of Saluzzo into an ecclesiastic territory, and the new see depended directly on the Holy See. Today it stands as a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Turin.
