Celle di San Vito


Celle di San Vito is a town and comune in the province of Foggia of the Apulia region in southern Italy.
Located upon the Daunian Mountains, Celle di San Vito is by far the smallest municipality in Apulia. Unlike the residents of many bordering towns, people of Celle di San Vito and the neighboring village of Faeto speak Faetar, a rare dialect of the Arpitan language which has fewer than 1,400 known speakers. The town's dialect is also represented in Brantford, Ontario, Canada, which received many immigrants from Celle di San Vito beginning in the early 1950s. At its peak several hundred daily speakers used the language in Brantford. As of 2012, the daily speakers have dwindled to fewer than 50 spread over three generations.
