- schoen 7y ago4) The "Vitelli" in Latin would be the vocative of the name "Vitellius" rather than "Vitellio". Cool sentence -- I had never heard of it before! The Latin etymological equivalent of the Italian sentence would be "illi vitelli de illis Romanis sunt belli", which uses "de" in a way that's unidiomatic for ancient Latin (where it only means something like "from", not "of" in the sense of "belonging to").
