Prosciutto

A large decorative pendant hangs at Prosciutto's throat above a dark collar, set against an otherwise lean frame. His blond hair is cropped short and gathered into four small braids at the back of his skull. His lower lashes are noticeably heavy, and his upper front teeth stand out slightly whenever his mouth opens.

He dresses in a two-piece suit of dark cloth traced with a spiderweb pattern, worn over a vivid shirt.

Grave and mission-focused, Prosciutto lives by his group's creed of never yielding an inch even while fatally hurt, and he demands the same iron discipline from those beneath him. When Pesci once falls short of that standard, he answers with a quick beating as a lesson. He carries out his work with unruffled, chilling efficiency, and no version of him is ever shown grinning; a hard, severe look is his resting expression.

The television adaptation sharpens that edge, having him bark at Pesci for a soft face and scold Formaggio for a sloppy kill that cost an extra life. He shows no qualms about aging a whole trainload of innocents, waving off Pesci's horror by arguing that his Stand grants a gentler end than, say, a plane crash. Underneath the coldness, though, runs a genuine concern for his comrades. As the senior of the pair, he repeatedly needles Pesci about his shaky self-belief while also working to reassure him, a faith that proves sound when Bucciarati judges Pesci the deadlier of the two.

His willpower runs deep. Even after the train's wheels leave him grievously mangled, he pours the last of his resolve into keeping The Grateful Dead active for as long as he can hold on.

Prosciutto and his partner Pesci are dispatched on behalf of the Squadra Esecuzioni to seize Trish Una and, through her, uncover the identity of their organization's leader. The two overtake Team Bucciarati at Naples station and board the same Florence-bound train, but quickly lose the trail. What they do not realize is that Trish now shelters within the boss's pet turtle Coco Jumbo, and that its Stand carves a living room inside the shell.

To drive the gang into the open, Prosciutto summons The Grateful Dead, whose power ages everyone across a wide radius, sorting victims by tiny gaps in body heat and slowed only by something cold such as an ice cube. He then conceals himself. The withering forces Mista out to investigate, and after Mista tangles with Pesci, Prosciutto poses as an old man, ages his target, and fires a bullet into his head, unaware that Sex Pistols has knocked the shots aside. He follows with a harsh reminder to Pesci about their code.

Recalling that Pesci sensed a strange life sign near the driver's cabin, he investigates and uncovers Coco Jumbo, only for Bucciarati to drop on him from the ceiling into a brutal fistfight. His Stand hands him the physical edge, yet Bucciarati hurls them both from the racing train. Pesci's Beach Boy hooks his hand and saves him, but Bucciarati seizes his leg and turns that same line against him, sending him plunging into the train's machinery. Torn apart yet true to his word, he keeps The Grateful Dead running, inspiring Pesci to fight on. In his final moments he phones Melone to pass along their position before he dies.
