History
1. The origins of the town (10th century BC - Roman era)
From the Aequi to Roman Vitellia, the ancient roots of the San Vito Romano area.
2. The Middle Ages and the Castrum Sancti Viti (6th-9th century)
From Saracen raids to the birth of the fortified village dedicated to Saint Vitus.
3. The Colonna and the Theodoli (12th-18th century)
The town as a feudal holding, from the Colonna to the Massimo and finally to the Theodoli, who shaped its present-day appearance.
4. The churches of San Vito Romano (15th-18th century)
From the Church of San Biagio to the Sanctuary of Compigliano, the religious buildings that mark the life of the village.
5. The hilltop settlement and the shape of the village (17th century)
A village that grew across several hills, between the medieval core beneath the castle and the 17th-century quarter of Mario Theodoli.
6. The Baccelli family and Guido Baccelli (1648-1931)
From Florentine bankers in Peretola to the minister who made San Vito Romano known across a newly unified Italy.
7. From San Vito to San Vito Romano (1872-1944)
The Unification of Italy, the new name of 1872, and the 20th century between civic memory and war.
8. The municipal coat of arms and banner (1956)
The warrior with the palm of martyrdom and the silver column that tell the village's history through images.
9. The twinning with Sankt Veit im Mühlkreis (since 2008)
Since 2008, a bond linking San Vito Romano to a like-named municipality in Austria.
