Vitalis of Assisi was a 14th-century Italian Benedictine monk and hermit who lived from 1295 to 1370. Born in Bastia Umbra, he initially led an immoral life before seeking atonement through various pilgrimages across Europe and Italy. Following these travels, he joined the Benedictine order at Subiaco. He eventually settled in the Santa Maria di Viole hermitage near Assisi, where he lived a life of extreme poverty until his death in May 1370.
