San Vito, Romanesque church in L'Aquila, Italy.

San Vito is a church in L'Aquila's Rivera area, in the San Giovanni quarter, at the end of via Borgo Rivera, with the church's nave running parallel to the street. Its continuous white stone facade, dated to the 14th century, is framed by pilasters and has an oculus aligned with the portal, ringed by alternating white and pinkish stone blocks. Two sundials flank the oculus, one showing Italian hours and the other solar hours; the portal's lunette holds a painting of Santa Maria della Sanità, and the Agnus Dei is carved on the architrave. The interior has a single modest nave ending in a broad altar.

San Vito was built in the second half of the 13th century by the inhabitants of a hamlet of Tornimparte, who helped found L'Aquila. The Romanesque facade dates to the 15th century. In 1599 the Fatebenefratelli founded the adjoining convent and hospital; the 1703 earthquake destroyed the church, rebuilt in the 18th century. The 2009 earthquake collapsed the top of the facade, rebuilt in 2014.

The church takes its name from San Vito and from the Rivera district, and is also called San Vito di Tornimparte after the castle whose inhabitants helped found L'Aquila in the 13th century. Its facade carries two sundials of uncertain origin, one showing Italian hours and the other solar hours, beside the oculus.

The church sits in the old town and is walkable from the center, though access can sometimes be limited due to earthquake damage repairs. Visiting in the morning or during quieter hours helps you explore without crowds and see how light plays across the facade.

The white stone facade is framed by pilasters and pierced by an oculus ringed with alternating white and pinkish stone blocks, a pattern also found on the nearby Fontana delle 99 Cannelle. Two sundials flank the oculus, one showing Italian hours and the other solar hours; their origin is uncertain.
