02Appearance
Vittorio is a puny teenage boy, with a frail build, said to have large eyes and sunken cheeks by Zucchero. His body is covered in scars from self-inflicted injuries used to activate his Stand. He possesses long bangs hanging in front of his face.↗↗
Vittorio wears a sleeveless cagoule from which two chains hang, each decorated by one six-pointed star. He also wears a pair of tall sneakers going up his calves.↗
03Personality
Vittorio is a psychotic masochist, obsessed with pain. He has a habit of cutting himself with his dagger, expressing pleasure with a loud "Gigigigigi!" while doing so. This masochism is tied to his belief that pain calls the life force inside him. In a related way, Vittorio thinks that civilized life is lacking and that it is a veneer for the emptiness of life, hence his love of pain.↗↗
Otherwise, Vittorio acts like a typical thug. He is uneducated and rude, sometimes overfamiliar with people and quick to seek fights. Likewise, he doesn't care about the crimes he's committed. According to Cannolo Murolo, Vittorio doesn't care about anything as he was born at the bottom of society, treated like scum and given no hope. As a result, Vittorio lashed out at everything around him. However, he genuinely admires Volpe and is loyal to him.↗↗↗

Background
Vittorio Cataldi is a member of Passione 's Sezione Droghe. After the Boss is defeated and Giorno Giovanna takes over, the team goes into hiding.↗
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 Kraft Work. 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.↗
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.↗
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.↗
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.↗
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.↗
