The Diocese of Acqui (Latin: Dioecesis Aquensis) is a Latin diocese of the Catholic Church that straddles the (civil) regions of Piedmont and Liguria, in northwest Italy. The ancient Roman name of the place was Aquae Statiellae, which was sometimes confused with Aquae Sentiae (Aix-en-Provence), and Aquae Augustae (Dax), where there were also bishops. Acqui had always been subordinate to the Province of Milan, down until 1817, when Pope Pius VII assigned it to the Province of Turin.[1] As a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Turin,[2][3] it falls within the ecclesiastical region of Piedmont.
