The Diocese of Ventimiglia-San Remo (Latin: Dioecesis Ventimiliensis-Sancti Romuli) is a Catholic ecclesiastical territory in Liguria, northern Italy. The name of the historic Diocese of Ventimiglia was changed in 1975. It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Genoa.
It is probable that Ventimiglia had a bishop from the fifth century; the first known is Joannes (680). Among his successors were:
Cardinal Antonio Pallavicino (1484) and Alessandro Fregoso, both more distinguished as warriors than as clerics;
Filippo de'Mari (1519), who restored ecclesiastical discipline;
Carlo Visconti (1561), later a cardinal;
Carlo Grimaldo (1565), who distinguished himself at the Council of Trent;
Girolamo Curlo (1614), who died by poison in Corsica, where he had been sent as Commissary Apostolic:
Gianfrancesco Gandolfi (1622), who negotiated the peace between Savoy and Genoa;
Antonio Maria Bacigaluppi (1773).
Bl. Tommaso Reggio (1877)
The diocese has been suffragan to Genoa since 1775.
