Celle di San Vito (Arpitan: Cèles de Sant Vuite, IPA: [ˈsɛləs də ˈsɑ̃t ˈvɥit]) is a village and comune (municipality) in the Province of Foggia in the region of Apulia in southern Italy. Located upon the Daunian Mountains, with a population of 143, Celle di San Vito is by far the least populous municipality in Apulia.[2][3]

Unlike the residents of many bordering towns (Biccari, Castelluccio Valmaggiore, Orsara di Puglia and Troia), people of Celle di San Vito and the neighboring village of Faeto speak Faetar, a rare daughter language of the Franco-Provençal language which has fewer than 1,000 known speakers. The town's language is also represented in Brantford, Ontario, where many immigrants from Celle di San Vito settled beginning in the early 20th century and over 2,000 Brantford area residents have ties to Celle di San Vito.[4][5]
