 In 1725, by virtue of the Bull "Romana Ecclesia" of 19 August 1725, Pope Benedict XIII revived the diocese of Cingoli, and united it "aeque principaliter" with the Diocese of Osimo to form the Diocese of Osimo e Cingoli.The united diocese of Osimo e Cingoli was without a bishop ("Sede vacante") from 11 February 1964 to 28 September 1972.On 28 September 1972, Archbishop Carlo Maccari of Ancona and Numana was named Bishop of Osimo; no mention is made of Cingoli.
