Crucial date of Vitese society is that of the night between 14 and 15 January 1968, in which a tremendous earthquake struck the area, which damaged many old houses and some churches, including the mother church, symbol of the community's identity. What the earthquake could not destroy was destroyed by men, who were responsible for the total destruction of the mother church, beyond the actual needs of public safety. Nowadays in the historic center there are still large depopulated areas, occupied only by the ruins of destroyed or abandoned buildings. There have been significant changes from a social, cultural and building point of view. The reconstruction took place in a new urban agglomeration, contiguous to the old one.
