Il Concordato del 1818 e la soppressione delle piccole diocesi della Costa d'Amalfi by Crescenzo Paolo Di Martino explores how the Concordat of 1818, signed between Pope Pius VII and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, reshaped the religious map of Southern Italy. On the Amalfi Coast, centuries-old dioceses—Ravello, Scala, Minori, and Capri—were suppressed and merged into Amalfi, despite local resistance and appeals to preserve their historic sees. The book highlights the clash between papal policy, Bourbon centralization, and the deep civic pride tied to cathedral tradition.
