The Italian Catholic diocese of Monopoli, in the province of Bari, existed from the eleventh century to 1986. In that year it was united into the diocese of Conversano-Monopoli.[1]

In 1118 Polignano, a small town situated on a high promontory along the Adriatic, was united to this diocese. The diocese was historically immediately subject to the Holy See, but came under the archdiocese of Bari.[2]

2. '''Romuald Guarna (between 1110 and 1120 – 1 April 1181/2) was probably the most eminent Archbishop of Salerno (as Romuald II) of the Middle Ages. He held his post from 1153 to his death in 1181/2.''' He was a native of the city, born into the old Lombard nobility. He is remembered primarily for his Chronicon sive Annales, an important historical record of his time. He studied as a youth in the Schola Medica Salernitana, where he studied not only medicine, but history, law, and theology. Romuald was raised to the Salernitan archbishopric after the death of William of Ravenna.

He was a diplomat for the kings William I and William II. He negotiated the Treaty of Benevento of 1156 and signed the Treaty of Venice in 1177. Though he took part in the conspiracy against the Admiral Maio of Bari, he never fell out of favour and even performed the coronation of William II. Despite this, he exaggerates his own importance in his chronicle, which characteristically begins at creation and extends till 1178.

In 1160-1161, he defended the city from the enraged William I, who was avenging the assassination of Maio. With the help of Salernitans at court and their connections to the king's intimates, the city was spared. In 1167, as the highest-ranking prelate in the realm, he crowned William II as king in the Cathedral of Palermo.

In 1179, he intervened in a council condemning the Albigensians. He was succeeded by Nicholas of Ajello.
