Princess Natalia Dragomiroff
Often referred to as simply “the Italian,” Antonio is an Italian-born businessman with dealings in America. Antonio is especially garrulous, and Poirot has to remind him to stay on topic in their interviews surrounding Ratchett’s murder. Foscarelli is an early suspect when M. Bouc singles him out because, as he says, “Italians use the knife,” and Ratchett was clearly stabbed by a knife (twelve times, at that). Antonio was the chauffer for the Armstrong household at the time of Daisy’s kidnapping.
