The Diocese of Frascati (Lat.: Tusculana) is a Latin suburbicarian see of the Diocese of Rome and a diocese of the Catholic Church in Italy, based at Frascati, near Rome. The bishop of Frascati is a Cardinal Bishop; from the Latin name of the area, the bishop has also been called Bishop of Tusculum. Tusculum was destroyed in 1191. The bishopric moved from Tusculum to Frascati, a nearby town which is first mentioned in the pontificate of Pope Leo IV. Until 1962, the Cardinal-Bishop was concurrently the diocesan bishop of the see. Pope John XXIII removed the Cardinal Bishops from any actual responsibility in their suburbicarian dioceses and made the title purely honorific.

Like other dioceses close to Rome, Frascati became a bishopric of choice for Cardinals of powerful papal families during the 17th century; a period known for its unabashed nepotism. Frascati Bishops of that era were significantly intertwined:

• Odoardo Farnese (1624–1626) – uncle of Odoardo Farnese, Duke of Parma against whom the Barberini fought the First War of Castro.
• Bonifazio Bevilacqua Aldobrandini (1626–1627) - adopted "nephew" of Aldobrandini family Pope Clement VIII whose grand-niece Olimpia Aldobrandini married Camillo Pamphili, nephew of Pope Innocent X.
• Marcello Lante della Rovere (1629–1639) – previous Bishop of Palestrina (the comune owned by the Barberini) uncle of Ippolito Lante Montefeltro della Rovere who was a close friend and counsel to Maffeo Barberini.
• Giulio Cesare Sacchetti (1652–1655) – twice nominated for the papacy by Antonio Barberini.
• Antonio Barberini (1655–1661) – nephew of Pope Urban VIII, brother of Taddeo Barberini (Prince of Palestrina), exiled by Pope Innocent X, later helped engineer the marriage of his nephew Don Maffeo Barberini to the grand-niece of Pope Innocent X.
• Girolamo Colonna (1661–1666) – brother of Anna Colonna (wife of Taddeo Barberini, nephew of Pope Urban VIII), uncle of Don Maffeo Barberini and brother-in-law of Antonio Barberini.
• Carlo Rossetti (1676–1680) – prelate to Pope Urban VIII and Antonio Barberini, supporter of Giulio Cesare Sacchetti

1. Tusculum had earlier been the property of the Monastery of Subiaco: P. Egidi, "L'abbazia sublacense e la signoria di Tuscolo," Archivio della Società Romana di storia patria 25 (1902), pp. 470–477.

3. Giovanni Romano (contemporaries did not call him Marsicano) became a monk at the Abbey of Bec under the well-known Anselm. He became a Canon of Beauvais. Pope Urban II named him Abbot of San Salvatore in Talese, and, in 1099, Pope Paschal II named him Bishop of Tusculum. Around one-third of Pope Paschal's appointments to the College of Cardinals were monks. In 1101 Cardinal Giovanni was sent as Papal Legate to England. In 1108 the Pope appointed him his Vicar for Rome while he travelled to Benevento. In 1111, he and Bishop Leo Marsicano of Ostia organized the resistance against Emperor Henry V, who had just captured the Pope and most of the cardinals. In March 1119 he attended a Synod in Benevento. He died shortly thereafter. Stephan Freund, "Giovanni di Tuscolo", Dizionario biografico degli Italiani 56 (2001). (in Italian) Retrieved: 2016-10-21.

5. During the period 1130–1138 Gilles followed obedience of Anacletus II. A source for the period 1130-1182: Johannes M. Brixius, Die Mitglieder des Kardinalskollegiums von 1130-1181, Berlin 1912, p. 134
6. Some sources say that Hugh de Saint-Victor was cardinal-bishop of Frascati 1139–1140/41 but Brixius, pp. 91–92 indicates that he should be eliminated from that list.
7. Girard was created a cardinal by Pope Clement VII of the Avignon Obedience on 17 October 1390, and assigned the titular church of San Pietro in Vincoli. On 13 June 1405 he was promoted to the See of Tusculum (Frascati) by Pope Benedict XIII of the Avignon Obedience. He participated with most of the cardinals of the Avignon and the Roman Obediences in the Council of Pisa and the election of Pope Alexander V. He was Major Penitentiary. He died on 9 November 1415.
