Vitorino was born in Salvador, Bahia. He was a writer and a physician before entering politics. His political career was ruined when he was implicated in the attempted assassination of Prudente de Morais. After he resigned from politics, he became a journalist and frequently wrote criticism of president Campos Sales, who succeeded Prudente de Morais.
