02Appearance

Amaretti's physical appearance is not described. He is only observed from a distance by Melone and Ghiaccio, with his actions being reported to them by Baby Face.↗

03Personality

Publicly, Amaretti presents himself as a serious artist, a film director who pursues the raw realism of violence in his works.↗↗

In reality, this is a facade and Amaretti is a deep-seated masochist with a violent fetish. His supposed "revenge" against gangs is actually a manifestation of his fetish; he is simply a man who gets aroused by violence. He engages in an extreme sadomasochistic relationship with his housekeeper, finding pleasure in being tortured in bizarre ways, such as being covered in lit candles or having a toilet brush used on him.↗↗

04Story

SPOILERS

Background

Amaretti Lucano's parents were killed in a gang conflict when he was a child. He used this backstory to build a career as a film director specializing in ultra-realistic violence films. He would hire detectives and informants to investigate real gangs, then use the information and even real footage of violence to create his movies. While shunned by the mainstream, this practice earned him a dedicated following.↗↗↗

Amaretti became a target for Passione when a detective he hired was caught investigating Polpo 's confinement in Naples. In addition to the detective, Amaretti had been subtly bribing street punks helping with protection racket collections, or bar staff under the organization's influence, to conduct his research on the gang. Fearing exposure, the Boss ordered Amaretti's assassination a day later.↗↗

Cuore di Genitore, Ignaro il Figlio

Melone uses Amaretti's blood and his housekeeper's DNA to create his Stand, Baby Face. However, the mission is stalled for two days because the housekeeper's saintly daytime persona and kind nature cause Baby Face to develop a conscience and refuse to kill.↗↗

The next night, Amaretti returns to his villa and engages in a violent S&M session with the housekeeper. Witnessing this "true form" of his "Mama" traumatizes Baby Face. Melone seizes the opportunity to manipulate the confused Stand, reframing the brutal acts as an "expression of love." This re-education works, and Baby Face, now believing murder is a form of love, attacks its parents.↗↗↗
