Asolo Duomo (duomo di Asolo) is the main church in the Italian city of Asolo. Its full title is the Provostorial and Collegiate Church of St Mary of the Assumption (chiesa prepositurale e collegiata di Santa Maria Assunta). It is a provostorial parish church and the seat of a vicariate of the diocese of Treviso. It was granted collegiate status in 1959, when it was granted an establishment of titular and honorary canons headed by a provost, who was also the parish priest.

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Asolo was merged with Treviso in the 10th century.

The current structure is mostly from the 15th, 18th and 19th centuries.

It once again contains the Asolo Altarpiece by Lorenzo Lotto (1506), probably painted for it, but for a long time hung in a different church.

<i>Duomo</i> Type of cathedral

Duomo is an Italian term for a church with the features of, or having been built to serve as, a cathedral, whether or not it currently plays this role. The Duomo of Monza, for example, has never been a diocesan seat and is by definition not a cathedral. In a similar way, the town of Asolo has not had its own bishop since the 10th century, but the main church is still called the Asolo Duomo. By contradistinction, the Italian word for a cathedral sensu stricto is cattedrale. There is no direct translation of "duomo" into English, leading to many such churches being erroneously called "cathedral" in English, regardless of whether the church in question hosts a bishop. Each city or town will have only one duomo, unless there are different denominations involved.
