Chronology of Catholic Dioceses:Notes on the Diocese of Fidene 502
About Fidene (now Castel Giubileo), there are two versions.
1. The only notice about a diocese is from 502. At a Council in Rome
we have a Gerenzio as bishop of Fidenae. The town became uninhabited during the VIII century and the diocese was abandoned.

3. The second version based on the most recent historic researches: Fidene has never been a diocese and Gerenzio wasn't bishop there.

Today, Fidene is a quarter of Rome.
