Inhabitated already by the Palaeolithic Inferior, Monte San Vito locality is firstly mentioned on written historical documentation dated back to the XI and XII Centuries from which we deduce a notorious historical emphasis.
At the beginning of the XV Century the castle was occupied by the noble family Malatesta, which consolidated the fortifications and constructed the fortress which is still absorbed in the building of the Town Hall. After a difficult period of calamity, banditry and famine, the town has started a costing growth, favored by its relative autonomy, after deposition and direct recognition in the concession aside by the Pope Paolo V Borghese, just elected to the pontifical throne (1605), with the title of  “Land” (Terra). The two following centuries, under the Pope government, were characterized by a progressive agricultural take-off, that gave it a certain economical power. In 1925 the Società Condominiale charges a local master builder, Tarciso Guadagnini, to realize the restoration project of a previous eighteenth-century theatre.

The Teatro Condominiale La Fortuna presents at the outside a simple facade, centrally arc lowered and at the inside a main room “bell” shaped  with two tiers of boxes, and a dignified decoration fin de siécle.
