[2] Aviator Charles Lindbergh’s first solo trans-Atlantic 3,600-mile (5,800 km) flight between Long Island, New York and Paris, France was immortalized in bronze by Vittor with a 50-foot-tall (15 m) sculpture showing a winged youth spanning the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower.

Though the strong disagreement between the two eventually did subside, Leaver, Vittor and the statue resurfaced five decades later in recaps of controversial Miss America mishaps.

[7] In 1958, one of Vittor’s greatest works, a 50-foot-tall (15 m) granite base and bronze statue of Christopher Columbus, was unveiled in Pittsburgh’s Schenley Park.

The obverse depicts the profile of two soldiers, one from the North and one from the South, and the reverse holds a symbol of the battle placed between the combatant's shields.

[10] Throughout Pittsburgh and the surrounding communities there exist more than 50 statues and fountains, as well as numerous other works, including a dozen historical panels on county bridges, and World War I memorials in at least five different cities.

The artist sculpted numerous busts, including United States presidents Calvin Coolidge, Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.

In 2008, Vittor was honored with a Pennsylvania State Historical Marker sponsored by the Heinz History Center which stands near his work of Columbus.
