The surname VITITOE is believed to have originated in Italy during the Middle Ages. It is thought to be derived from the Italian word "vite," meaning "vine," and the suffix "-toe," which could be a diminutive form or a reference to a specific location.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name VITITOE can be found in a document from the city of Siena, dated around the 13th century. This document mentions a family with the surname VITITOE, suggesting that they may have been involved in the wine or grape cultivation industry.

In the 14th century, there are records of a prominent figure named Giovanni VITITOE, who was a merchant and landowner in the region of Tuscany. He is mentioned in several legal documents and property records from that time period.

During the Renaissance, a notable artist named Francesco VITITOE (1480-1548) gained recognition for his frescoes and religious paintings in various churches and palaces throughout Italy. His works can still be admired in cities like Florence and Rome.

In the 17th century, a family with the surname VITITOE settled in the town of Viterbo, located north of Rome. They were known for their involvement in the local wine trade and owned several vineyards in the surrounding countryside.

Another notable figure was Antonio VITITOE (1692-1768), a scholar and philosopher from Naples who wrote extensively on the topics of ethics and metaphysics. His works were widely studied and influential during the Enlightenment period.
