Vittorio Cataldi
Vittorio Cataldi (ビットリオ・カタルディ, Bittōrio Katarudi) est un antagoniste secondaire figurant dans le roman court Purple Haze Feedback.
Vittorio est un membre de la Sezione Droghe, le groupe des narcotiques devenus renégats après que Giorno ait dissous le trafic de drogue. C'est aussi un manieur de Stand et son Dolly Dagger réfléchit les dommages infligés à Vittorio.
Apparence
Vittorio est un adolescent chétif, à la carrure frêle, aux grands yeux et aux joues creuses selon Zucchero.[1] Son corps est couvert de cicatrices dues aux blessures qu'il s'est infligées pour activer son Stand. Il possède une longue frange qui pend devant son visage.
Vittorio porte une veste à cagoule sans manches d'où pendent deux chaînes, chacune décorée d'une étoile à six branches. Il porte également une paire de baskets qui lui montent jusqu'aux mollets.
Personnalité
Vittorio est un masochiste psychotique, obsédé par la douleur. Il a l'habitude de se couper avec son poignard, exprimant son plaisir par un bruyant "Gigigigigi !" en s'entaillant. Ce masochisme est lié à sa croyance que la douleur appelle la force vitale qui sommeille en lui.[1] D'une manière similaire, Vittorio pense que la vie civilisée est superficielle et qu'elle n'est qu'un vernis pour couvrir le vide existentiel de la vie, d'où son amour de la douleur.
Pour le reste, Vittorio agit comme un voyou typique. Il est inculte et grossier, parfois trop familier avec les gens et prompt à chercher la bagarre. De même, il ne se soucie pas des crimes qu'il a commis. Selon Cannolo Murolo, Vittorio ne se soucie de rien car il est né au bas de l'échelle de la société, a traité comme une ordure depuis toujours et parce qu'on ne lui a jamais donné aucun espoir.[2] Par conséquent, Vittorio s'en prend à tout ce qui l'entoure. Cependant, il admire sincèrement Volpe et lui est loyal.[1]
Pouvoirs
Stand
- Main article: Dolly Dagger
Le Dolly Dagger de Vittorio Cataldi est un pouvoir avec un pouvoir spécial. Si une personne est reflétée sur la lame de Dolly Dagger alors que Vittorio subit des dégâts, alors 70% de la blessure est réfléchies sur la victime dont on voit la réflexion sur la lame.[1] It gives him surprising durability and can be fatal if someone recklessly attacks him.

Purple Haze Feedback
In a warehouse at Villa San Giovanni, Strait of Messina, Vittorio slices his own flesh as Sale, a former member of Passione, watches him. When Sale does not laugh at Vittorio's jokes, he challenges him to summon his Stand Kraftwerk. Terrified, Sale wonders how Vittorio is a part of the former narcotics team that everyone dreamed of joining and had once turned in an eleven figure profit. Nearby, Angelica sluggishly sings the Sicilian song Vitti 'na crozza. Sale suddenly feels dizzy and loses his ability to make rational decisions, not knowing he is being affected by Nightbird Flying. He takes the challenge and slams his fist into Vittorio's chest, fixing his heart in place. Suddenly, Vittorio's foot raises up and sends Sale flying. When he looks up, he notices someone's heart fixed in space and realizes that his attack was reflected on him. He instantly dies on the ground.
Struggling in pain, Vittorio calls out for Volpe. Volpe reminds him that his Dolly Dagger can only reflect seventy percent of damage. Volpe slams his fist on Vittorio's chest which heals him, but the impact knocks him down. Angelica points at the plastic sheet that Volpe was holding and realizes that it is Zucchero, Sale's partner, who had used his Stand Soft Machine to deflate himself and get close to the narcotics team. Vittorio stomps on Zucchero on the ground who could no longer properly function due to Volpe's mysterious Stand ability. Vladimir Kocaqi enters the room and scolds Volpe for fighting and tells him that he should leave the battles to the rest of the team. Kocaqi reminds him that he is the heart of the team and that he could rule the world with his Stand, Manic Depression. Volpe only retorts that Kocaqi could also do it with his Rainy Day Dream Away, while Vittorio jokingly asks if his Dolly Dagger is also as good as theirs. Soon, the Sezione Droghe team is informed that Passione is unto them, so Kocaqi sends himself off to ambush the agents.
Later, learning of Kocaqi's death, the three remaining members spend less time grieving and decide to avenge the old man by finding a Stone Mask in a Nazi bunker under the Cathedral of Syracuse, which was advised to Volpe by Kocaqi. Before exiting the hideout, Volpe leaves behind a carnage of the corpses of Sicilian gangsters covering every corner of the room. The team subsequently takes down a helicopter with the Passione members Pannacotta Fugo, Sheila E, and Cannolo Murolo in it. Vittorio's celebration is cut off as Volpe and Angelica realize that Fugo and Sheila E are still alive. Volpe then advises Vittorio to stick to the plan and retrieve the Stone Mask before Passione anyone else find it.
Arriving in the Cathedral of Syracuse, Vittorio finally retrieves the Stone Mask but it is stolen by Murolo who emerges unharmed from Nightbird Flying's attacks earlier. Vittorio uses Dolly Dagger to slit his own throat and reflect the damage to Murolo, but surprisingly, no damage comes to him. Murolo destroys the Mask and reveals the true nature of his All Along the Watchtower to divide the damage of incoming attacks to him by fifty-three. He also reveals that destroying the Mask was a secret part of the mission, an agreement between Passione and the Speedwagon Foundation to stop the menace. As he attempts to redeem Vittorio, the latter only stabs himself repeatedly, killing himself in the process.
