Nusco is in the province of Avellino. The diocese dates from the eleventh century. Among its bishops were

• Guido (1004);
• St. Amatus of Nusco (1167), author of a history of the Normans in Apulia and Calabria;
• Roger (1198), who restored the cathedral;
• Cardinal Pietro Paolo Parisio (1538), who presided at the Council of Trent;
