Frank Vittor
Frank Vittor (January 6, 1888 – January 24, 1968) was an American sculptor, known for his "preference for the heroic and colossal".
Early life
Vittor was born in Mozzato, Como, a suburb of Milan, Italy. He studied art in Milan at the Academy of Beres and then traveled to Paris, France to study under Auguste Rodin. When Vittor was 18, in 1906, U.S. architect Stanford White brought Vittor to New York to work on his staff. White, who had designed Madison Square Garden II, was murdered at a performance at The Garden two weeks after Vittor arrived. The youth, having little money and knowing very limited English, decided to stay in America and soon opened an art studio. He met his future wife, Ade Mae Humphreys, a resident of Pittsburgh, and made the move to her home town.
Major works
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. Congress approved the expenditure in 1928, and the work was completed in 1929.

The colossus that never happened and the 1951 Steelers. "Great to see the great sculptor Frank Vittor in motion with a model of his proposed sculpture that would tower 100 feet over the Point. After studying art in Milan in his native Italy, he went to Paris where he studied under Auguste Rodin. Coming to Pittsburgh after a stint in New York (cut short because his employer, architect Stanford White, was fatally perforated by a scion of this city's Thaw family), his work can be found all over, from the statue of Honus Wagner on the North Side to the one of Columbus in Schenley Park to the bust of Marconi at KDKA". -- Frank Kurtik
