05Story
SPOILERS
Background
Sogliola is a Passione capo who operates in the city of Venice. It is known that he was bullied in his youth and developed a great ambition. He lost his parents when he was young and tried to make a living through pickpocketing and rigged gambling. He eventually joined Passione and rose up to the rank of capo. He built up a second identity, Seppia, to fool the police and have a better control of the organization's traffic in the city.↗
Over the years, Lopez had compiled a list of all the Stand users in Venice, noting the existence of Coniglio and The Cure.↗
Golden Heart, Golden Ring
Things change when the Boss himself e-mails Sogliola, requiring Bucciarati's group to be executed. Seeing the assignment as a possibility to advance in Passione and move out from Venice, Sogliola persuades Pannacotta Fugo to help him in exchange for the organization's forgiveness.↗
He elaborates a plan to kill the traitors. He first exposes Coniglio 's The Cure to Purple Haze 's virus, making it absorb the virus, and the pain and suffering of its victims. He also used his power on smuggled sea mines and polystyrene broken into small pieces and scattered in the sea.↗
The moment the traitor took to the sea, Lopez teleported his mines in place of the polystyrene, forcing them to head for the Saint Mark square, where Rigatoni was also posted to shoot the traitors. However, Mista and Giorno defeated him.↗
In the basilica, Lopez unleashed The Cure, which had grown to a giant size because of Purple Haze. Lopez observed the battle protected by a biohazard suit but it was somehow pierced and Lopez retreated to an exit route. He is however betrayed by Fugo who has only pretended to obey him in order to save his friends.↗
Cornered by Team Bucciarati, Sogliola attempts to escape in the sewers by teleporting, but is intercepted by Mista and caught up to by Bruno Bucciarati. Ensnared into vines, Lopez attempts to touch Bucciarati to switch places but Bucciarati pummels him with Sticky Fingers.↗
