I am reading a book now that has a reference to Vedetta. I think it is a mountainous region in Italy, also a German ship during World War II was named Vedetta. The "e" at the end of a German name/word is sometimes pronounced "a". In the book I am reading it refers to either a battle or a ski hill, it's not clear. The name is engraved on a pair of soldiers downhill skis in the book. Maybe it's an Italian/German hybrid of a name. Good luck
