Vito Timmel (born Viktor von Thümmel; 19 July 1886 – 1 January 1949) was an Italian painter.

Thanks to an inheritance, the family moved to Trieste, which then belonged to Austria, in 1890, where his mother founded a fashion shop in Piazza della Borsa.

[1] From 1901 Thümmel attended the state trade school (Scuola per Capi d'Arte) in Trieste[2][3] and learned the basics of painting from, among others, Eugenio Scomparini.

[6] In 1910, as part of his Grand Tour, he sojourned in the cities of Venice, Florence and Rome and then returned to Trieste.

It was brought to the stage by Antonio Calenda [fr] in 2006, with Roberto Herlitzka playing the painter that year.
