The village of Castronuovo di Sant'Andrea, in the province of Potenza, near Armento, Basilicata, owes its foundation and its name to Saint Vitalis of Castronovo who used to live as a hermit in this area. The saint was mindful of his native city of Castronovo in Sicily, hence the name. The specification "of Sant'Andrea" was added centuries later.
