La Squadra Esecuzioni

La Squadra di Esecuzione (暗殺チーム) was a former assassination squad of Passione. Its members defected after being threatened by their boss for trying to expose his secret identity and are set on trying to kidnap Trish Una to do so. The group contains key neutral antagonists of the third arc of Part V: Vento Aureo.

History
La Squadra di Esecuzione was a team of assassins created by Passione and put under the leadership of Risotto Nero. Its main role was to carry on various assassination beneficial to the gang, and the members would receive a bonus for each kill, but nothing else, and they were distrusted by the organisation.

The team eventually became tired of their situation and asked for a territory which would ensure greater income, but Diavolo refused their request. Then the team members Sorbet and Gelato investigated the Boss' identity, which angered him. La Squadra di Esecuzione found the corpse of Sorbet who choked on a tissue and the body parts of Gelato were delivered to the team as a grim warning against rebellion. The team despaired of ever defeating their Boss.

Two months before the event of Vento Aureo, the death of Donatella Una triggered interest in her daughter Trish Una, as Donatella was one of the Boss' former lover. After Risotto, Prosciutto, Ghiaccio and Illuso were sent to Donatella's room for investigation, they learned of Trish's link with the Boss. Hoping to learn of him by using her and using her as a detector for the Boss, la Squadra di Esecuzione defected from Passione and scattered across Italy to chase her.

During the event of Vento Aureo, Formaggio was the first to discover Trish's whereabout, having noticed that Buccellati's Gang didn't attend Polpo's funeral despite him being their superior. He tailed Narancia Ghirga and interrogated him, confirming his suspicion about Trish and a fight ensued, which ended in Formaggio's death. The fight is thought to have attracted the attention of every member of La Squadra di Esecuzione toward Buccellati's Gang, and forced them to move Trish.

Illuso was the second to confront the group, fighting at once Giorno Giovanna, Pannacotta Fugo and Leone Abbacchio in Pompei in order to seize a key critical for Trish's transportation. However he was subsequently killed by Purple Haze's virus.

Prosciutto and Pesci then managed to track Buccellati's Gang up to a train toward Florence, hiding in a turtle. Although both died by the hands of Bruno Buccellati, they managed to stop the train, hindering the group's movements. Prosciutto also called fellow assassin Melone and informed him of the group's location.

Melone went up to the train, and using his Long Range Stand Baby Face, tracked the group and attempted to stealthily kidnap Trish Una. However Giorno Giovanna managed to stop Baby Face and sent a venomous snake after Melone, killing him. During the fight, Melone had to call Ghiaccio and Risotto Nero for help; Ghiaccio was the first to arrive to the indicated location of the fight, but Buccellati's Gang was long gone.

It is revealed that Ghiaccio and Risotto managed to corner Pericolo, forcing him to commit suicide inside the turtle. From his burned laptop Ghiaccio extracted a photograph of Venice, which enabled him to interrupt Giorno Giovanna and Guido Mista's search for a disk containing the Boss' orders. The combined efforts of the two Stand users still overcame his might, and Ghiaccio died.

Meanwhile Risotto Nero was investigating Sardinia to uncover the Boss' past, and encountered Vinegar Doppio, who was the Boss' split personality. He successfully determined his true identity and a fight ensued. While he had the upper hand against Doppio, the latter baited Narancia into attacking Risotto, and the heavily wounded assassin finally met the Boss. Attempting a last attack using Aerosmith's bullets, Diavolo's King Crimson rendered it useless, and Risotto ultimately shot himself. La Squadra di Esecuzione was no more.
