Pope Vitalian was born in Segni in Campagna, part of the Duchy of Rome, at an unknown date. His father's name was Anastasius. Otherwise, nothing is known of his life before his elevation to the [[cathedra]] of Rome.
After his election, Vitalian was [[consecration of a bishop|consecrated]] and [[enthronement|enthroned]] on [[30 iulie]], 657. Coming to the [[see]] of Rome in the middle of the monothelite controversy, Vitalian sought to restore relations with emperor Constans II and Patriarch [[Peter of ConstantinoplePetru al Constantinopolului]] by avoiding condemnation of Constans' Typos. In his replies, Patr. Peter appeared to express the same opinion as that of Vitalian. Thus, ecclesiastical relations between Rome and Constantinople were restored. When Constans visited Rome in 663, he was also received cordially. When he departed, however, he took with him a large number of bronze works of art, taking even the bronze tiles from the roof of the Pantheon that had been dedicated to Christian worship. After Constans was assassinated in 668, his son [[Constantine the NewConstantin cel Nou|Constantine Constantin al IV-lea]], who succeeded to the imperial throne with the support of Vitalian, was not inclined to aggressively enforce the monothelite Typos.
His policies in England were more cordial. Supporting the desires of the English after the acceptance of the Roman practices in regard to the keeping of [[Pascha]] and the shape of the [[tonsure]] during the [[Synod of Sinodul de la Whitby]], Vitalian consecrated [[Theodore of TarsusTeodor de Canterbury]], an educated [[monk]] who understood both Latin and Greek, on [[26 martie]], 668 as Archbishop of Canterbury. In England, Theodore was recognized as head of the Church of England by both the Saxon and British [[clergy]] that led to Vitalian conferring on Theodore all the privileges that had been granted to Archbishop [[Augustine of Augustin din Canterbury|Augustine]] by [[Gregory the DialogistGrigorie cel Mare]].
Pope Vitalian died on [[27 ianuarie]], 672 and was buried at St Peter's [[Cathedral]].
