Vitalian of Osimo

Saint Vitalian was Bishop of Osimo, in Italy, in the eighth century, for thirty-⁠three years. He is commemorated on 16 July.

In his time the cathedral of the city was built, consecrated in honour of Saint Leopardus, the first bishop of Osimo, who lived in the fourth century. Vitalian was buried in the same place.

Since 1755 the commune of Osimo has counted him among the patron saints of the city. His memory falls on the same day as that of his namesake, Saint Vitalian of Capua.
