Vita, Italy Totally Explained

Everything about Vita Italy totally explained

Vita is a town in inland South-Western Sicily, Italy, administratively part of the province of Trapani. It is the smallest municipality area of the province of Trapani (8.88 km² circa). It is also characterized by the second highest altitude in the province, after Erice.
   The town was founded in the early 17th century, under the Spaniards, by a noble from Calatafimi, Vito Sicomo. The birth of the township was then ratified by King Philip III of Spain on March 11, 1607.
   In 1860, the town gave its full support to the |Mille led by Giuseppe Garibaldi. In the arly 1900s, the city reached its highest population, with 6,000 inhabitants circa. More recently, its inhabitants have slowly left the town in order to move towards Northern Italy and foreign countries, with possibly its largest emigrant community located in Toronto. Vita was heavily damaged by an earthquake in 1968, and rebuilt in a new urban zone, close to the old one.
   The derivation of the name is uncertain: it's possibly associated to the founder's name, but might either be of Arab origin (there is a town named Vita in Algeria too), or even somehow associated to the same Italian word which means life.
