Rigatoni is a Passione assassin from the novel Golden Heart, Golden Ring, a Vento Aureo side story. A specialist in hunting down other Stand users, he is feared as the Stand Killer and once fought beside Guido Mista before leaving retirement for a final duel.
Rigatoni is a Stand user whose power is Public Image Limited. His trade sets him apart from ordinary hitmen, since he devotes himself specifically to eliminating other Stand users, a niche that made him both rare and dreaded throughout the organization.
Within Passione, Rigatoni's very existence stays a near-secret, known to only a handful, and among those who do know him he carries a fearsome reputation as the so-called Stand Killer. That pride in his specialty drives his final act: instead of remaining retired, he accepts a job for the chance to settle matters with a familiar rival.
