It is a mountain village lying astride the Apennines and renowned for its prosciutto, an Italian dry-cured ham known as prosciutto di Faeto [it]. Residents of Faeto and neighbouring Celle di San Vito are speakers of Faetar, a daughter language of the Franco-Provençal language, which is found in an Alpine region spanning northwestern Italy, southeastern France and southwestern Switzerland.
