Vittori flew Tornado GR1 aircraft with the 155º Gruppo, 50° Stormo, in Piacenza, Italy from 1991 to 1994.

During that time, he qualified for day/night air-to-air refuelling as well as a formation leader.

1995

He flew the Tornado in the Italian Air Force before graduating in 1995 from the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School at Patuxent River, Maryland where he was the first in his class.

1998

In 1998, Vittori was selected by the ESA to join the European Astronaut Corps.

In August 1998, after selection by ESA to join the European Astronaut Corps, he reported to the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

Following a period of training and evaluation, Vittori served in various technical assignments within the NASA Astronaut Office.

2000

He served at the Italian Test Center as a project pilot for the development of the new European aircraft, the EF2000.

2002

From April 25 to May 5, 2002, Vittori participated in the Soyuz TM-34 taxi-flight to the International Space Station (ISS), under an agreement between the Russian Rosaviakosmos, the Italian Space Agency (ASI), and the ESA.

During his stay aboard ISS he worked alongside the resident crew overseeing four European scientific experiments.

The mission successfully delivered a new "lifeboat" to the Station for use by resident crews in the event of an on-board emergency.

Vittori returned to Earth aboard Soyuz TM-33.

2005

On 15 April 2005 Vittori participated in a second taxi-flight to the International Space Station (ISS), Soyuz TMA-6, returning to Earth on 24 April in the Soyuz TMA-5 capsule.

He became the first European astronaut to visit the ISS twice and conducted experiments in upper limb fatigue in astronauts and germination of herbaceous plant seeds for possible space nutrition.

The astronaut also had a painting of the artist George Pusenkoff titled Single Mona Lisa (1:1) with him and took photos with it on the International Space Station.

It is the ultimate continuation of the project "Mona Lisa Travels" developed by Pusenkoff and could only be realized under difficult conditions.

The authorities found the idea good in theory, but constantly put forward new reasons why the project was unrealizable.

Only when George Pusenkoff wrote to the then Italian ambassador in Russia, Gianfranco Facco Bonetti, the possibility of realizing the idea arose.

The connection between science and art, which was also important in Leonardo da Vinci's life, found here an "actualization" in the form of this journey of an image of Mona Lisa into space.

For the action, Pusenkoff's painting was removed from the frame so that it could be rolled.

On April 25, 2005, Vittori took the painting back to the Earth with him.

2011

Since then, he has participated in three spaceflights: the Soyuz TM-34/33 and Soyuz TMA-6/5 taxi flights to the ISS, as well as STS-134, the penultimate mission of the American Space Shuttle Program in 2011.

He was the last non-American to fly aboard the Shuttle.

Vittori was a mission specialist for NASA Space Shuttle mission STS-134 in 2011.

He is the last non-US astronaut to have flown on the Shuttle.

Vittori has 3 sons.

2015

As reported by WAMU, of the 8,760 complaints about Reagan National filed with the airports authority in 2015, 6,852 came from one household in DC's Foxhall neighborhood (Vittori's).
