San Vito is a very young martyr, who lived during the 3rd century AD and who is part of the 14 Holy Helpers, whose intercession was considered particularly effective in illnesses or for specific needs. He was invoked to ward off lethargy, the bite of poisonous or hydrophobic beasts and the “dance of San Vito”. In this regard, legend has it that Vito healed the son of Diocletian, his contemporary, who suffered from epilepsy. Today we know him as the patron saint of Saxony, actors, dancers, epileptics and tinsmiths. His feast day is June 15 (or March 20) and he is represented in iconography with the following attributes: palm, cross, dog, white rooster, tub or pot, blue tunic and red cloak. The Saint is also the patron saint of Recanati, Polignano a Mare (Bari) and in Italy alone there are 11 municipalities that bear his name.

The Arch of Trajan is a unique work in the world. Symbol of Benevento, it represents a well-preserved testimony of Roman civilization.

Beautiful place for a moment of relaxation after a long 40 km ride

The Roman bridge is beautiful, again on the Calore river, a little further downstream.

The Apis Ox in the Benevento popular tradition does not represent an ideal of beauty, if to define a particularly ugly and ungainly woman it is said that: "Pare 'a vùfera 'e vasci'a Madonna" (It looks like the hoax that is down at the Madonna delle Grazie ).

Trajan's arch is the symbol of Benevento and represents a well-preserved testimony of Roman civilisation.
