Leaving the Roman Curia in 1989, Pope John Paul II appointed de Nicolò bishop of both the Diocese of Rimini and the Diocese of San Marino-Montefeltro in persona episcopi, and he was consecrated a bishop by Cardinal Rosalio José Castillo Lara.[2] In 1995, Bishop de Nicolò left the Diocese of San Marino-Montefeltro, leaving it to Paolo Rabitti, whom he co-consecrated a bishop. He remained bishop of Rimini until his retirement 2007.[3]
