Personnalité
"It's Italian, you goddamn bastards! Speak fucking Italian! Fuck, that pisses me off! You stupid motherfuckers!"

- Ghiaccio,

Ghiaccio is a confident and short-tempered assassin who, despite his quirks, is rather level-headed.

Wielding the dangerously powerful ice-based Stand, White Album, Ghiaccio is understandably confident in his abilities and disdains most of the enemy's actions, which he deems as futile. Unlike the rest of his teammates, Ghiaccio openly confronts Giorno and Mista alone (having assumed the rest of the team was nearby too) and even openly monologues his plans out loud. Conversely, when the two of them attempt anything against him, Ghiaccio doesn't hesitate to taunt them or ridicule their futile attempts, such as when he tells Mista to jump into the water to see whether he can really outpace White Album's freezing ability, also demonstrating his power by freezing a sizeable stretch of water in an instant. His pride is expanded upon in the anime by showing him claiming that La Squadra Esecuzioni is "the best" out of all the teams in Passione. However, Ghiaccio demonstrates that he isn't simply arrogant and commends Mista for giving him a hard fight despite his weaker Stand.

Although he is extremely prideful, Ghiaccio is conscious about his weaknesses and has devised plans to alleviate his need to have an air hole on White Album. If the need presents itself, Ghiaccio is able to freeze the air to counter against projectiles and cover the air hole. Moreover, on the rare occasion where he is at a disadvantage, Ghiaccio also shows he can think quickly to reverse the situation. For instance, when he is nearly impaled on a spike, Ghiaccio uses his own flowing blood to create pillars and support himself.

He has a fixation with language, expressing annoyance at the confusing wording of various metaphors as well as how foreign languages do not respect Italian words, such as spelling "Venice" in English instead of "Venezia". During these fits of anger, Ghiaccio becomes so unnerved he begins to sweat out of wrath and vents his frustration through breaking nearby objects or dramatic arm-waving. His choleric side is expanded upon in the anime as he is seen complaining the loudest about his team's comparatively meager revenues.

Le Stand de Ghiaccio est White Album. Il lui permet de refroidir tout ce qu'il touche jusqu'à des températures proches du zéro absolu. Il se manifeste comme une armure de glace qui protège Ghiaccio des coups, et lui permet de patiner.

Ghiaccio a une technique spéciale nommé "White Album Gently Weeps". Il refroidit l'air environnement de tel sorte qu'il se solidifie (atteignant -210 °C), créant un champ de glaçons invisibles qui lévitent autour de lui et dévie les projectiles.

Passé
Ghiaccio est un membre de l'équipe d'assassins travaillant pour, la. Auparavant, ils étaient neuf. L'équipe était alors frustrée car ils ne recevaient leur paye qu'à chaque contrat clôt, alors que d'autres équipes géraient un territoire et gagnaient plus d'argent. Un jour, Sorbet et Gelato se décidèrent à enquêter sur le mais disparurent soudainement. L'équipe se mit à les rechercher et on trouva alors Gelato dans sa maison, ligoté et étouffé par son baillon. Il y avait aussi un morceau de papier sur lui où on avait écrit le mot "Punition". Plus tard, la Squadra reçut des colis et ils découvrirent avec horreur qu'on avait découpé Sorbet en morceaux et mis son corps dans du formaldéhyde. Cette exécution élaborée servait à montrer la toute puissance du Boss et le sort qui attendaient les rebelles. Les assassin désespéraient de pouvoir tenir tête au Boss. Cependant, ils entendirent alors de et sa fille, respectivement l'ancienne amante et la fille du Boss. Ils ses mirent en tête d'essayer de capturer Trish, pensant qu'elle pourrait être la clé pour deviner le pouvoir du Boss. La Squadra Esecuzioni se rebella ouvertement et commencèrent à chasser Trish. Alors que le capo avait mis Trish en sécurité, les assassins fouillèrent la maison de Trish pour trouver des indices, manquant ironiquement une photo de Donatella que le Boss lui-même avait prise.

L'adaptation animée s'étend un peu sur ce que faisait Ghiaccio. Il y a deux ans, il était déjà un membre de l'équipe. Il exprime sa colère, disant qu'ils sont les meilleurs de l'organisation et qu'il devraient être mieux payés.

Vento Aureo
Contacted by Melone, who reveals that Team Bucciarati is on a parking lot south of Rome, Ghiaccio drives over to their supposed location and discovers he is too late to confront the group. Swearing to find the group no matter what, he briefly gets angrily at the nonsensical expression used to say this. At the same time, he hears Melone being killed on the phone. Regardless, Risotto Nero later runs some computer analysis on Pericolo's items and discovers that Bucciarati's group is headed toward Venice.

Ghiacchio finds Giorno and Mista manages to sneakily jump on their car's roof, hiding for a while. Using White Album, he surrounds himself in a thick, bulletproof layer of ice and begins to lower the temperature of the car. By the time Giorno and Mista notice, Mista's face is stuck to the window because of the cold. Ghiacchio makes himself known and Mista shoots, but Ghiaccio is protected by his ice. He even manages to trap some of Sex Pistols. Ghiaccio then goes on a rant, demanding that foreigners call Venice by its proper Italian name, "Venezia". Ghiaccio remains confident but then Giorno and Mista combine their abilities. Mista shoots bullets touched by Gold Experience and the bullets turn into roots, breaking through the ice and making Ghiaccio fall onto the road.

However, Ghiaccio then summons White Album as a suit around him and begins to skate to catch up to the car. Ghiaccio's armor is also bulleproof but then Sex Pistols slip bullets into his skate blade, making him trip. Ghiaccio freezes the trail of humidity left by the car and pulls himself towards it. When Mista prepares to unload his gun again, Giaccio opens the trunk, crawls through it and grabs Mista to freeze his firing hand and break it. Interrupted by a pummeling from Gold Experience, Ghiaccio's armour is merely cracked. Desperate, Giorno drives into the sea, telling Mista to escape to their objective. However, Ghiaccio creates a long stretch of ice in an instant, taunting Mista and daring him to swim. As Ghiaccio freezes the car again, Mista has Giorno create tundra grass and makes a board out of it, sliding on the ice to reach his objective. Ghiaccio is forced to cancel his ice for the moment and swims towards Mista.

Ghiaccio punches the water and traps Mista in ice, but Giorno and Mista work together again. They manage to drive a great screw into Ghiaccio's helmet and Mista shoots further into it, making the hitman sink for a moment. When Ghiaccio resurfaces, Mista mysteriously shoots some fishes, making Ghiaccio turn his head; Mista then shoots a bullet into the airhole on the back of his neck. However, Ghiaccio reveals his technique: White Album Gently Weeps. He freezes part of the air solid and makes the bullet bounces back at Mista.

Ghiaccio reaches the ground and searche the area. He eventually finds an OA disc inside of the lion statue near Santa Luca station. Ghiaccio approaches Mista to fight him but then Giorno sprays some of his blood in their direction, making the weaknesses in Gently Weep's barrier appear. Mista uses rebounds and hits inside of Ghiaccio's neck again, but Ghiaccio reveals another layer of protection. He has sealed his airhole and stored frozen air inside of his suit, allowing him to breathe. The bullets bounces back at Mista, but the gunman covers his helmet with blood. Mista unloads his gun in Ghiaccio's face. Ghiaccio trips on a spike created when Mista's bullet hit a metal lamppost, and Ghiaccio understands the danger. Mista repeatedly shoots Ghiaccio in the face, pushing him further into the spike but then Ghiaccio freezes his blood solid, reinforcing the support. Sure of his victory, Ghiaccio makes a last bullet rebound into Mista's forehead.

However, the bullet wound heals. Giorno appears and finishes off Ghiaccio by having Gold Experience repeatedly kick him into the spike. Ghiaccio's throat is impaled and the hitman dies.

All Star Battle (PS3)
Ghiaccio appears as an explanatory character in the JoJo Dictionary menu. He guides the player through the Trivia, Story, and Character Profiles tabs, notably becoming irrationally upset when the player attempts to leave.

Détails

 * One of Ghiaccio's rants includes his annoyance at the Japanese phrase,, meaning "thoroughly." The phrase is defined by its first half, nehori (根掘り), which translates to "root digging", the implication being that something is not done "thoroughly" until the roots are pulled out. The nonsensical second half of the phrase, hahori (葉掘り), meaning "leaf digging," is added to create a euphonious Japanese wordplay (i.e. "digging up the roots and leaves") and is generally not taken literally like Ghiaccio is doing.
 * In Crunchyroll's official subtitles for Golden Wind, Ghiacchio's rant is instead directed towards the phrase "taking a leaf out of someone's book," in which "leaf" refers to a sheet of paper, rather than an actual plant leaf. Similarly to the Japanese version of his rant, Ghiacchio's anger still stems from him taking a piece of figurative language literally, while preserving the reference to leaves.
 * In the English dub for Golden Wind, Ghiaccio's rant is instead directed towards "think outside of the box", simply confusing him for what exactly it means stating "maybe I think better in there!" or "so you think my brain is in a box now?!"
 * Araki stated that he created Ghiaccio after being inspired to create an opponent that "would skate down a road" to attack. He additionally added glasses to the character's appearance to have something distinct to look at while in his full-body Stand suit.
 * His voice actor in All Star Battle, Tatsuhisa Suzuki, later voiced Prosciutto, another member of Squadra Esecuzioni in the TV anime.
