Plot Summary
Gold Experience
Koichi Hirose arrives in Naples at Jotaro Kujo's request in order to investigate Haruno Shiobana, also known as Giorno Giovanna; Dio's son.
Giorno expresses his dream of rising within the mafia in order to become a "Gangstar".
Giorno is attacked by Leaky-Eye Luca, a member of Naples' dominant gang Passione, who dies upon having his aggression reflected at him by Giorno's Stand power.
Buccellati's Coming
In response, Giorno is confronted by Bruno Buccellati, Luka's superior.
Exceeding Buccallati's expectations and defeating him, Giorno establishes a rapport with Buccellati by exposing a mutual distaste for Passione's practices in dealing heroin.
The Gangster Beyond the Wall
After this, Buccellati offers Giorno a chance to join Passione by completing a test imposed by Polpo, a high-ranking member operating from prison.
Gang Enrollment
Defeating Polpo, Giorno meets his comrades (comprising Buccellati's Gang); Narancia, Mista, Abbacchio and Fugo, who despise him at first.
Giorno and his comrades are assigned a mission by Passione's Boss: Protect his daughter, Trish Una, and deliver her to him before an enemy group can abduct her.

Adaptations

Trivia
- This arc was initially referred to as Dai Go-bun Giorno Giovana: Ōgon naru Isan (第5部 ジョルノ・ジョバァーナ ―黄金なる遺産―, Dai Go Bu Joruno Jobāana Ōgon naru Isan), lit. "Part 5 Giorno Giovana: Golden Heritage".
- Since the arc takes place in Italy, the series title is written in Italian as Le Bizzarre Avventure di GioGio.
- Araki said that he used male idol groups and Italian fashion as the visual inspirations for this part. He wanted to design the main cast in a "pretty boy image" to deliberately contrast the taller, muscular protagonists from previous arcs. Araki remarked that the gay undertones found within certain scenes were included as a homage to the eroticism generally found within the fashion industry. He didn't think that events or character relationships had any deeper meanings behind them until fans brought it to his attention.[1]
