Vittorio Pisani (Corfu, 13 October 1899 - Vittorio Veneto, 27 April 1974) was an Italian illustrator and painter.

He was the author of the famous covers of the weekly magazine La Tribuna illustrata.


Born of an Italian father and a Greek mother, his father was a painter, as were his grandfather and uncle, he trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome.

His first paid job was during the Greek-Turkish war in 1919, at the age of 20, the design of a label for a company selling figs, which is still on the market.

He became illustrator from 1922 of the weekly Tribuna illustrata, for which he created more than 4000 covers.

He executed postcards for many departments of the Italian Army and mainly for the Milizia Volontaria per la Sicurezza Nazionale.

His was the painting and postcard from which the Italian Post Office postage stamp was taken, of the Carabiniere hero Salvo D'Acquisto, gold medal of v.m., created by Silvano Campeggi.

He painted numerous illustrations of the Carabinieri, later published in the Tribuna Illustrata, and present, in the form of reproductions, on the walls of Italian barracks.

After the war, he retired to Farra d'Alpago, Belluno, his wife's native land.

He died in the Vittorio Veneto civil hospital from complications due to diabetes, from which he had been suffering for years. His heirs, Roberto and Andrea Vittorio Pisani, take care of the archive. This piece has an attribution mark,
