"Episcopus" means Bishop. According to this page, Gerace in Calabria was known as Hieracensis. Hence, your document appears to have emanated from the office of the Bishop of Hieracensis/Gerace.

In fact, here we see that Giuseppe (Joseph) Maria Pellicano (b. 1864) was indeed the Bishop of Gerace 1818-1833.

Beyond that, I cannot make out enough of the words to perform a useful search.
