Chiesa rupestre di San Vito - Celle San Vito

It is not easy to date the religious building, although we certainly know that the oldest, authentic document that refers to it is the Bull of Paschal II (1100) which is kept in the archive of the Cathedral of Troy.

The small religious building dates back to the twelfth century and was originally managed by the monks of the Monastery of San Nicola, which formed the original nucleus of the village of Celle San Vito. Later the property and the cult passed first to the Clergy Ricettizio of Castelluccio Valmaggiore, then under the jurisdiction of the Municipality of Celle San Vito, although the building falls in the territory of nearby Faeto.

Between the Church and the Taverna, today the farm of the counts Maresca, there is the spring, Mutatio Aquilonis, with fountain from which the river Celone (or Aquilone) is born. On the facade of the farmhouse, which has survived with the features of the sixteenth century, is walled a stone with an inscription of 213 A.D. dedicated to Caracalla, to witness the ancient function of this building. For decades the Church dedicated to "Sant'Uìte", now recovered, was a ruin of undoubted charm, but over time has lost most of its characters, such as the extraordinary rose window in living stone that decorated the small facade, stolen years ago by unknown.
