[edit] Vitalieu

I'd like to see some citation for the claim that Italian vita is related to this. I have no knowledge of any connection between vita and veal. -- (Unsigned)

I've removed the reference, I could find no other reference to this on the Web, and the article for Italy states that the etymology for that word is very uncertain:

"The name appears to be a Greek form of Latin Vitelia, related to the Latin vitulus and Greek ἰταλός 'calf', but nature of the relationship is obscure: see Italus."
