It was a few months after the inauguration of Sabaudia that the De Vitis family opened their business in the heart of the Foundation city, right in the center of Piazza del Popolo, now Piazza del Comune.
De Vitis, an artist watchmaker who was called “the artist of gold” for his great skills as an engraver, who first arrived in Sabaudia, from Palena (Chieti), in 1933, already the son of an ancient tradition familiar of goldsmiths.
He opened his first business in San Donato as a watch repairer, before moving to Sabaudia in a shop near the Church and, finally, in Piazza del Comune.
