Donatella finally died of illness in a hospital of Calabria.
Anime Debut: Golden Wind Episode 10: The Hitman Team
Voice Actor: Yoshihito Sasaki (Sorbet)
Sorbet (ソルベ, Sorube) and Gelato (ジェラート, Jerāto) are deceased members of Passione and by extension La Squadra Esecuzioni who were executed by the Boss because they tried to unmask him. Gelato was tied up and forced to watch Sorbet being sectioned into pieces by the boss but swallowed his cloth gag to commit suicide and save himself from further terror. His corpse was later discovered in his home, with the cloth still stuck in his throat and a note attached that reads "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.[2]
The two were described as psychopaths by fellow assassin Formaggio and were always close, leading to rumors about the true nature of their relationship. The fact that Sorbet and Gelato decided to investigate Diavolo's identity by themselves could indicate either overconfidence or bravery.
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).
The duo's appearance and rumors of being a couple are possibly a reference to the Australian pop duo Savage Garden, who were often rumored to be in a romantic relationship due to the homoerotic nature of their album covers.
