Pesci est un assassin, membre de La Squadra Esecuzioni. Lui et son aîné Prosciutto attaquent la Team Buccellati à bord d'un train en partance pour Florence. Il est un manieur de Stand et son Beach Boy est une canne à pêche semi-intangible.
Pesci est un homme italien plutôt athlétique, de petite taille. Il a notamment un large cou lisse, ce qui fait qu'il semble ne pas avoir de menton et sa tête ressemble à un pouce. Il a la tête rasé à l'exception d'une touffe de cheveux verts dont les mèches partent vers le haut avant de retomber. Pesci a aussi les oreilles décollées.
Pesci porte une sorte de combinaison sombre sans manches et décorée d'un motif de hameçons dans des cœurs, avec des manchettes assorties. Il porte aussi un manteau sans manches décoré avec un col de fourrure. Après que Guido Mista lui ait tiré dans la main droite, celle-ci est enroulée dans des bandages.

Je peux tout percevoir ! Aucune de tes ruses ne marchera contre moi, Buccellati ! Je peux lire en toi, et avant que mon frère et le pouvoir de Grateful Dead disparaissent... j'en aurai fini avec toi !
Pesci est introduit comme un assassin qui est inhabituellement faible d'esprit, essayant de dire des menaces vides de sens, manquant de confiance, et plutôt timide. Pesci manque de calme, et panique facilement s'il n'a pas l'avantage. Ainsi quand les Sex Pistols détruisent la glace dont il se sert pour se protéger de The Grateful Dead, il s'enfuit immédiatement et supplie quand Mista le tient en joue. Dans l'anime, c'est aussi lui qui est le plus effrayé en voyant la mort affreuse de Sorbet, ou encore comment la cible de Formaggio est morte. De manière plus humoristique, on souligne le côté couard de Pesci en le montrant boire du lait. De plus, Pesci a peu confiance en lui, ni en son pouvoir ni en ses capacités personnelles, abandonnant vite des théories qu'il formule. De fait, même Prosciutto doit lui rappeler qu'il est compétent et doit avoir confiance en lui-même.
Lorsque Prosciutto est grièvement blessé mais maintient tout de même son pouvoir, Pesci est ému au point de pleurer et comprend alors les leçons de Prosciutto, devenant un assassin implacable et sans merci. Il devient alors une menace encore plus grande pour la Team Buccellati et parvient presque à tuer Blono Buccellati durant leur combat. Buccellati note cependant que s'il montre de la bravoure, il devient aussi cruel sans raison et le traite d'ordure quand l'assassin essaie de tuer ses subordonnés, alors inconscients à l'intérieur de Coco Jumbo.
Pesci respecte grandement son aîné Prosciutto, l'appelant notamment son "grand frère" (兄貴 Aniki), un terme qui vient du fait qu'au Japon, les yakuzas appellent leurs aînés ainsi.
Le Beach Boy de Pesci est une canne à pêche dont le hameçon est intangible et la ligne très sensible et invulnérable. Il peut le lancer loin pour ferrer les organes internes de ses cibles comme des poissons.

Les assassins découvre leur camarade exécuté par le Boss
Pesci est un membre de l'équipe d'assassins travaillant pour Passione, la Squadra Esecuzioni. Auparavant, ils étaient neuf. L'équipe était alors frustrée car ils ne recevaient leur paye qu'à chaque contrat clôt, alors que d'autres équipes géraient un territoire et gagnaient plus d'argent. Un jour, Sorbet et Gelato se décidèrent à enquêter sur le Boss mais disparurent soudainement. L'équipe se mit à les rechercher et on trouva alors Gelato dans sa maison, ligoté et étouffé par son baillon. Il y avait aussi un morceau de papier sur lui où on avait écrit le mot "Punition". Plus tard, la Squadra reçut des colis et ils découvrirent avec horreur qu'on avait découpé Sorbet en morceaux et mis son corps dans du formaldéhyde. Cette exécution élaborée servait à montrer la toute puissance du Boss et le sort qui attendaient les rebelles. Les assassin désespéraient de pouvoir tenir tête au Boss. Cependant, ils entendirent alors de Donatella Una et sa fille Trish, respectivement l'ancienne amante et la fille du Boss. Ils ses mirent en tête d'essayer de capturer Trish, pensant qu'elle pourrait être la clé pour deviner le pouvoir Stand du Boss. La Squadra Esecuzioni se rebella ouvertement et commencèrent à chasser Trish. Alors que le capo Pericolo avait mis Trish en sécurité, les assassins fouillèrent la maison de Trish pour trouver des indices, manquant ironiquement une photo de Donatella que le Boss lui-même avait prise.

L'adaptation se penche un peu plus sur le passé de Pesci. Deux ans avant les évènements de la partie 5, Pesci était déjà un membre de la Squadra Esecuzioni. La nuit où Sorbet et Gelato ont disparu, Pesci était en mission avec Formaggio, Prosciutto et Melone. Prosciutto réprimande Pesci d'avoir pris du lait au lieu d'une boisson plus mature.
Après que l'équipe parte à la recherche de Sorbet et Gelato, Pesci participe à la recherche. Quand l'équipe reçoit plusieurs colis étranges, Pesci reconnait alors des doigts et se souvient que Sorbet mettait du vernis à ongle. L'équipe rassemble alors les paquets sous les yeux horrifiés de Pesci, découvrant alors que c'est le corps découpé de Sorbet qu'on a découpé.
Pesci is introduced alongside Prosciutto in Naples' train station, tailing Team Bucciarati until they mysteriously disappear from the train. He swears to kill Bucciarati for the death of Formaggio and Illuso but Prosciutto chastises him for his "weak" attitude, stating that he should do the deed before thinking about murder. The two try to pincer attack Bucciarati, Pesci advancing inside the train while Prosciutto walks on the platform but they mysteriously lose his trace.
Using his Beach Boy, Pesci checks the driver's cabin and spots two life-forms. However, he only sees the driver when he drags him out. Pesci keeps searching the cabin and almost discovers the team's transport turtle, Coco Jumbo, but Prosciutto deploys The Grateful Dead, distracting him at the last moment. Afraid for his life, Pesci sets up a bait on the air conditioner button and retreats to the bar wagon, sustaining himself on ice to counter the aging effect of The Grateful Dead.
When Mista tries to activate the air conditioning, Pesci detects him. He hooks his hand and reels him, advancing his hook inside of Mista's arm. He also identifies Mista when he feels the vibration of the gunshot in Beach Boy's line. However, Sex Pistols manages to destroy his ice, sending him into a panic and making him vulnerable to Mista because he makes his Stand disappear. Almost shot down, only Prosciutto's intervention saves him. He is again yelled at by Prosciutto for his cowardice and witnesses Prosciutto shoot Mista in the head. Encouraged by Prosciutto, Pesci finally leads his partner to Coco Jumbo but is then ambushed by Bucciarati. Sitting aside as Prosciutto battles Bucciarati, he is ordered to kill Trish's bodyguards but he hesitates, almost immediately sent flying into a window by Bucciarati's kick. Bucciarati loses the battle but throws himself off the train alongside Prosciutto.
Pesci wakes up and launches Beach Boy to save his partner. He notices that the weight has lightened and assumes that Prosciutto has won but soon realizes that the position of the hand and the weight is wrong. When a passenger comes out and asks Pesci to stop the train, Pesci despairs as it means Prosciutto has been killed but then the aging effect starts again. Pesci discovers Prosciutto beaten and crushed inside the machinery of the train. Inspired by Prosciutto's example, Pesci gains the confidence to complete his mission and, encouraged by the extent of Prosciutto's determination, challenges Bucciarati.
Pesci controls his hook to always reach Bucciarati despite the capo's efforts to escape. He tries to swing Bucciarati to the side and make him crash against a pole to make him feel the same pain as Prosciutto but Sticky Fingers hangs onto a bolt. Pesci then swings the line upward but Bucciarati then opens the roof of the train, and protects himself from the incoming power cables. Still, the hook has almost reached Bucciarati's heart. In the train, Bucciarati then attacks the line to zip himself into several pieces. Pesci loses trace of Bucciarati and attacks a random civilian. Pesci briefly feels the faint beat of a heart but Bucciarati cuts it open. Trying to persist inside of the train as there is no way Bucciarati could have escaped his senses, Pesci is slowly taken by doubt. Fearing that Bucciarati is trying to kill Prosciutto and leave him vulnerable, Pesci stops the train to check on Prosciutto. He then meets with Bucciarati who's coming out of the train.
Pesci's death
Pesci decides to kill Bucciarati here and there and avenge Prosciutto before the latter expires. He sends Beach Boy's straight at Bucciarati's heart, bypassing his arms. Thinking himself victorious, Pesci tries to pull the line but Sticky Fingers pulls it and ties Pesci's neck. It yanks the line, breaking Pesci's neck. Nevertheless, Pesci is still determined to make Bucciarati pay. He releases Trish from Coco Jumbo and falls, attempting to crush the turtle. When Sticky Fingers comes to attack, Pesci enters the turtle and tries to strangle everyone in the turtle. However, Sticky Fingers then pulls him out of Coco Jumbo and pummels him. He is separated into several pieces and thrown into a nearby river, killing him.
I get it now, fratellone Prosciutto! I understand your resolve, not through your words but through your spirit! From the moment we think of the word "kill" ... the deed has already been done.
Reentered the lower arm! 4cm to the elbow! 3 cm! Popping my hook outta your arm for a split second is not gonna save you, Bucciarati! There's nothing you can do but wait until Beach Boy's hook crawls up your arm and snags your heart!
Pesci appears in GioGio's Bizarre Adventure as the enemy faced in Chapter 5-2, though he also appears unconscious as a prop in Chapter 5-1. In Super Story Mode, Pesci's first move once the battle begins is to hook Bucciarati before he or the player can react; this does not occur in Another Story Mode. Aside from a single melee attack if the player gets too close, Pesci's moveset relies upon him gaining distance between himself and the player in order to use Beach Boy. Pesci can send Beach Boy's lure through the ground to knock the player down, or send it through the air in either a straight line or a figure-eight shape to hook them instead. If caught, the player character will begin taking damage; the player must hold the left stick in the opposite direction of Beach Boy, to avoid Pesci knocking the player down and dealing heavy damage. If Pesci reels the player character close enough to him, he will perform a kick, dealing damage but also freeing them from the line.
Pesci appears as a stage hazard and situation finish on the Naples Train Station stage: both him and Prosciutto appear near the train during the beginning of the match, and after some time, board the train. If one of the fighters is knocked into the hazard indication area, Prosciutto encourages Pesci by saying he needs to trust himself, and then Pesci will throw his Stand's line into the stage. In a straight line perpendicular to the train, Beach Boy will shoot out of the train before being quickly reeled back: any character caught by it is sent flying into the side of the train with a soft knockdown.
As a situation finish, Pesci's Beach Boy hooks the opponent by the head/neck area: the train then takes off and the unfortunate loser is dragged away while both Pesci's laugh and Prosciutto's encouragement can be heard.
Both Pesci and Prosciutto appear as the stage hazards for the Naples Train Station stage: as soon as Prosciutto is defeated, Pesci will appear. His field of action is the space between the two trains with him patrolling that general area and his line of sight is a cone in front of him: anybody caught in it for too long is hooked and left stunned, vulnerable to their opponents before eventually being yanked and sent into the side of the train. As he will prioritize the fighter closest to him, Pesci himself cannot be damaged by any means, making him a permanent hazard for the rest of the match.

Dans le roman JORGE JOESTAR, une version alternative de Pesci vit dans le 37ème univers, ayant une apparence similaire. Il n'est pas vraiment mentionné mais apparaît tout de même dans une illustration.
Pesci and others jumping into Morioh
Nero Nero Island, where the base of Passione is located, suddenly grows legs and starts moving through the ocean headed toward Morioh. Some ordinary citizens panic and attempt to escape at the island's harbor. Pesci, Cioccolata (Universe 37), Secco (Universe 37), Prosciutto (Universe 37), Ghiaccio (Universe 37), and Melone (Universe 37) ambush and murder them. Secco's Evil Dead conceals the harbor, making their actions invisible to those within the island, such as Bruno Bucciarati (Universe 37). One man manages to escape and tries waving desperately toward Morioh for help before he is killed as well.
The Mafia members move the bodies out of sight by dropping the bodies in the water between the boats, or by tossing them into the tall grass by the side of the road to the harbor. Nero Nero Island suddenly crashes into the barrier surrounding Morioh and flips upward. Its propulsion causes it to tear through the barrier and lands into Morioh Harbor. Cioccolata and the others start firing bullets and rocket launchers at random civilians and houses in Morioh, attempting to shoot Jorge Joestar as well when he runs by underneath them. The mafia members then jump off the island and head to Budogaoka gymnasium with several weapons.[1]

Pesci refers to Prosciutto as "big brother" (兄貴, Aniki), though it is never made clear if they're blood-related or not; the term is a Japanese honorific that can refer to either an older brother or a superior.
