Post 1960
Like all dioceses in this category, for historical reasons it has had, since 1960, an incumbent residential bishop with ordinary powers but also has assigned to it as an honorary high ranking dignity one of the six cardinals in the Order of Cardinal Bishops. The Cardinal Bishop has no powers with regard to the government of the diocese.
The residential bishops have been:
- Pietro Severi (1966–1975)
- Renato Spallanzani (1975–1986)
- Pietro Garlato (1986–1991)
- Vittorio Tomassetti (1992–1997)
- Eduardo Davino (1997–2005)
- Domenico Sigalini (2005–present )

Famous quotes containing the word post:
“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
