Storyline

Early Life

When Narancia was ten, his mother died of an eye disease. Narancia's father did not love him very much and after his mother died, the father began to neglect Narancia more and more. Soon Narancia stopped attending school and began staying in his friends' houses, stealing food for dinner. Narancia believes friendship is the most important thing in the world, which allowed him to be manipulated by an older friend. The friend told Narancia to dye his hair blond as it was the current trend. Narancia obeyed, but the next day, the police caught him and ordered he be put in the juvenile detention centre, where Narancia ended up spending a year inside. Confused, Narancia looked around for information and discovered that his older friend had broken into a house and convinced Narancia to change his appearence so Narancia would be falsely accused and the friend could go free.

A year later, at age 15, Narancia was finally released from the detention centre, although he had contracted an eye disease from the guards continually beating him up. Rumours sprung up around the town that he had inherited the disease from his mother and that people should stay away from him. He finally realized that because he had told his good friend about his mother's disease the friend had spread the rumour. With nowhere to go and all by himself, Narancia had given up on his life.

However, one day, as he was looking for food in the trash cans, he was picked up by Fugo and from there he met Bucciarati. After feeding him, Bucciarati called an ambulance to bring Narancia to the hospital. After three weeks in the hospital, Narancia's eye disease was cured, but he was confused as to Bucciarati's motives for helping him. Soon he realized Bucciarati was a mafia member and pleaded for Bucciarati to let him work for him. Bucciarati became angry and told Narancia to go home and attend school. Narancia did as he was told, but he kept wondering what made Bucciarati angry. Eventually he realized Bucciarati was angry for Narancia's own good and which made Narancia desire to work with him even more. Half a year later, Narancia went to see Polpo without telling Bucciarati and passed the test.

Vento Aureo (2001)

When Narancia is first introduced, he is sitting with Mista, Abbachio and Fugo, waiting for Bucciarati. Fugo is trying to get Narancia to study, and it is revealed that Narancia didn’t do well in elementary school so Fugo is tutoring him. Narancia appears to be getting the math question; until it is shown his has done it completely wrong, despite his confidence he has done the question correctly. Fugo attacks him with a fork and Narancia retaliates with his knife, resulting in a standoff between the two, which is soon broken by the arrival of Bucciarati and Giorno. Upon Giorno’s statement that he is fifteen, Narancia comments that he is younger than Narancia by two years.

Narancia is next seen on the boat headed for Capri Island with the rest of Bucciarati’s group. He had bought a CD player and is listening to it. The volume is up high, and annoys Mista, who is sitting nearby. Mista asks him for a can of soft drink and when Narancia isn’t looking, pours the drink over the CD player, effectively breaking it. Narancia is confused and becomes angry, saying he’s going to teach the shopkeeper who sold it to him, a thing or two. When Bucciarati finally reveals that they are going to Capri Island to retrieve the six billion dollars that Polpo had Bucciarati hide, Narancia is as excited as everyone else. However, Narancia is then the first to get captured by Mario Zucchero’s stand, Soft Machine. After Bucciarati defeats Zucchero, Narancia is shown having Fugo examine his head for bruises. Then he, Fugo and Abbachio all end up kicking Zucchero’s body around, while Mista abuses Zucchero’s detached head. After declaring Zucchero is going to the ninth level of hell, Narancia engages in a strange dance, quickly joined by Mista, then Fugo.

Upon arriving on Capri Island, and while waiting for Bucciarati to reveal the six billion, Narancia gets into a confrontation with a cleaner, threatening her with his knife, when she goes to clean the washroom they are currently in. The tables are turned as the cleaner overpowers him, but the confrontation is halted by Belcaro revealing himself as an operative who has come to take the six billion and turn Bucciarati into an operative. The cleaner, whom Narancia got into a fight with, is exposed as Trish Una, as well the focus of Bucciarati’s group’s new mission.
