His works provide examples of:
- Character Outlives Actor: Mike Heck from The Middle and Peter Russo from House of Cards (US) outlived their Italian voice after Vittorio's death in 2015. Curiously, for both characters, he was replaced by Massimo De Ambrosis who, like Vittorio, was another voice actor of the Italian dub of Friends, as Chandler.
- Real-Life Relative: He and his sister Eleonora worked together on occasion, most notably as Joey and Rachel from Friends. It became weird when the two characters were romantically involved in later episodes.
- Star-Making Role: Eric from The Little Mermaid, the first time he voiced a major character.
