Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Matera-Irsina

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Matera-Irsina in Basilicata, Italy, has existed under this name since 1986. The archbishop is seated at Matera Cathedral. . It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Potenza-Muro Lucano-Marsico Nuovo.

The Archbishop, since 2004, had been Archbishop Salvatore Ligorio; but on Monday, October 5, 2015, he was elevated by Pope Francis to be Metropolitan Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Potenza-Muro Lucano-Marsico Nuovo , to whose province the Archdiocese of Matera-Irsina belongs. It is not the norm, but by no means irregular to have a non-metropolitan archdiocese either under a metropolitan archdiocese, as is the case here, or to have non-metropolitan archdioceses be subject directly to the Pope .
