OGLIASTRA, Diocese of. - In the province of Nuoro with the episcopal residence in Lanusei.
It has an area of 2,461 sq km with a population of 55,000 inhabitants, all Catholics, distributed in 28 parishes served by 49 diocesan priests and 8 regulars; it has seminaries, one male religious community and 8 female ones (Ann. Pont., 1952, p. 299).
In the Middle Ages this eastern region of Sardinia was called Barbagia or Barbaria, a name also of a diocese corresponding to this territory. The diocese was created by Pope Leo XII on 11 Nov. 1824 by dismemberment of the archdiocese of Cagliari, at the request of Charles Felix I, king of Sardinia, as a suffragan of Cagliari, as it still is. The first bishop was Msgr. Serafino Carchero, later transferred to Bisarchio in 1834.
