He was probably a younger brother of Carlo Crivelli , under whose influence he formed and in whose workshop he took his first artistic steps. He probably accompanied him towards the end of the 1450s and the beginning of the 1460s only to Zara in Dalmatia , where he is still mentioned in 1465 and then followed him to the Marche .

A collaboration between the two artists is assumed for a few paintings that are still preserved today. In 1481 Vittore was first mentioned in a contract for a painting that he painted for the Notre-Dame church of Loreto in Montelparo. From 1487 to 1501 he lived in Fermo, where he mainly worked for churches in the smaller towns in the Marche.

Vittore's pictures are in the tradition of the works of Carlo Crivelli. Vittore, however, held onto an old, stricter imagery and on the whole relied on less dramatic compositions.
