San Vito di Fagagna

San Vito di Fagagna, a small municipality of Friuli's high plain (8.35 square km, 1691 inhabitants, with the hamlets of Silvella and Ruscletto) owes its name to Saint Vitus.

The area was probably inhabited in the pre-Roman age and in the 1970s traces of a Roman road were found: according to its direction, one may think it was the Concordia ad Noricum road, which from Concordia Sagittaria reached, between Artegna and Gemona, the Via Iulia Augusta road.

The finding of a Lombard sarcophagus (probably dating back to the 9th century) and of a cemetery with Lombard weapons, fibulae (brooches) and other objects, provides evidence of the settlement of that people in the territory.
