Vitalianus of Capua was a 7th-century bishop and priest who is traditionally credited as the founder of the Sanctuary of Montevergine. According to historical accounts, he served as a bishop in either Capua or Caudium. His life is characterized by a period of exile after opponents used a deceptive trick involving his clothing to falsely accuse him of misconduct. After surviving an attempt on his life at sea, he eventually sought a life of solitude as a hermit.
