History
A letter of Pope Simplicius dated 19 November 475 speaks of a Bishop Gaudentius of Aufinium, the Latin name by which the town was known, against whom three neighbouring bishops had laid complaints.
No longer a residential bishopric, Aufinium is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.
