The characters featured in this article are sometimes referred to as "Sorbei and Cante".

Sorbet and Gelato (ソルベ・と・ジェラート, Sorube to Jerāto) are a duo introduced in Part V: Vento Aureo. They were late members of assassination squad La Squadra di Esecuzione.

Synopsis

Sorbet and Gelato were introduced during Formaggio's recollection of his reasons for kidnapping Trish Una. Both were said to have been good friends of one another who specialized in assassination and, apparently disgruntled by the lack of territory their boss granted them, began to pursue the identity of their boss. Gelato was tied up and forced to watch Sorbet being sectioned into pieces by their boss, and swallowed his cloth gag to commit suicide and save himself from further terror. His corpse was later delivered to his teammates, with the cloth still stuck in his throat and a note attached that read "punishment". Days later, thirty-six individual sections of Sorbet would be preserved in formalin frames, which would be delivered to the assassins one by one.

They are later shown being recounted by Risotto Nero as he remembers his rebellion against the boss to avenge them.

Trivia

• The deaths of Sorbet and Gelato are likely a reference to Luca Brasi's murder of two enemy mafioso in The Godfather series, in which one is hacked to pieces alive (Sorbet) and the other swallows his cloth gag to save himself from a gruesome death (Gelato).
