Today we will discover the history and culture of this ancient village.

The history of Vitulano

At the foot of Mount Pentime there is the "Grotta dei Briganti" (Cave of Bandits), site of a prehistoric settlement dating back to the Neolithic period (2900 B.C.) where siliceous blades, arrow points, scrapers and a set of ceramics belonging to the same historical period have been found. In the VII century B.C. the area where Vitulano is located today was inhabited by the Samnites until the Romans conquered the area and divided it into several colonies, until the fall of the empire.
