The Italian Catholic diocese of Pitigliano-Sovana-Orbetello in Tuscany has existed under that name from 1986, renamed from diocese of Sovana-Pitigliano-Orbetello. The historic name was diocese of Sovana-Pitigliano, which was changed in 1981. The diocese is suffragan of the archdiocese of Siena. The two towns, Sovana and Pitigliano, are situated in the Province of Grosseto, Central Italy. Sovana was an ancient Etruscan city, and preserved a certain importance till the end of the thirteenth century, having been from the days of Charlemagne the capital of the counts of Aldobrandeschi, lords of Southern Tuscany. In 1240 the city withstood a siege by Emperor Frederick II. Later it passed under the sway of the Orsini family, who transferred their residence to Pitigliano, mentioned for the first time in 1081. In 1401 it fell into the power of the Republic of Siena.
