Angelo is also a pervert, guilty of raping three young boys, planning to rape Tomoko Higashikata, and when in prison, wanting to steal a porn magazine from another prisoner.

As an act of vengeance against Josuke and Ryohei, Angelo tricked and killed Ryohei, planning to do the same to Josuke and then assault his mother. Angelo waited until a rainy day came to get an advantage over Jotaro and Josuke in Josuke's home.
He was eventually defeated and smashed to pieces by Crazy Diamond's fists into a rock. Josuke then restored him and the rock at the same time, fusing them. Angelo them tried to take a kid as a hostage with his stand, but insulted Josuke's hair and as a result Josuke fused him even more with the rock, effectively turning Angelo into a hideous statue that becomes a historical landmark for Morioh. Josuke eventually waved to Angelo when passing by the rock, an habit Koichi Hirose also developed to imitate Josuke.
