CITTANOVA d'ISTRIA. - A locality on the Istrian shore that arose on the site of an ancient Emonia, on account of which from the Middle Ages onward the bishopric also took this name, and it was erroneously supposed that it had succeeded the well-known bishopric of Emona in Upper Pannonia. The bishopric is remembered during the schism of the Three Chapters; it continued into the Lombard-Frankish age, from which there survive the remains of a baptistery with the inscription of Bishop Maurice; through its very modest existence it passed through the following ages, until it was suppressed by a bull of Leo XII of 30 June 1828, made effective in 1830. The last bishop died in 1831. The territory was united to Trieste. The bishopric depended on the patriarchate of Aquileia until 1751, then it followed the fortunes of the other bishoprics of Istria.
