MONTECORVINO. - Ancient diocese in the province of Salerno, today a simple village called M. Rovella; it originated from a "monasterium S. Corvini."

Its last bishop was Antonio, elected on 4 February 1432; in 1434 Pope Eugene IV united M. with the diocese of Volturaria, a suffragan of Benevento; by 1613, however, nothing remained to M. but a single chapel; the settlement, including the ancient cathedral of St. Peter, was deserted.
