Why integrate over $2\pi$ in inverse DTFT?

In DTFT of a signal, the spectrum of a sequence is periodic with period $2\pi$ and all the information needed for derivation of the original signal from its spectrum is contained in $\pi <\omega <\pi$.

But , why do they integrate over $2\pi$ and not from $-\infty$ to $+\infty$ , as in continuous Fourier transform in inverse DTFT? After all, when you derive a transform of a signal, the inverse of it is not arbitrary and to recover the original signal, you can't integrate over an other interval because all the information is contained in there.
