		The area was inhabited in prehistorical times, as shown 
		by findings in the grottoes of Santacroce and the presence 
		of megalithic dolmens. The name may derive from the 
		Latin Vigiliae, that was used for the military outpost 
		surrounded by walls and defended by seven towers on
		Via Traiana, or alternatively from the non-classical 
		Latin Vescellae meaning forested area. 
		
		The oak tree that for time immemorial has	been the symbol 
		of the town may be connected to pre-Roman times, 
		when populations coming from the Arcadia region, 
		who worshipped Jupiter Dodoneus, usually represented 
		by an oaktree, settled in the area.
