Sorbet and Gelato



Sorbet and Gelato (ソルベ・と・ジェラート) are a duo introduced in Part V: Vento Aureo. They were late members of assassination squad La Squadra di Esecuzione.

Synopsis
Sorbet and Gelato were introduced during Formaggio's recollection of his reasons for kidnapping Trish Una. Both specialized in assassination and were always so close to each other that they were rumored to be a couple together. Apparently disgruntled by the lack of territory their boss granted them, they attempted to pursue the identity of their boss. Gelato was tied up and forced to watch Sorbet being sectioned into pieces by their boss, and swallowed his cloth gag to commit suicide and save himself from further terror. His corpse was later delivered to his teammates, with the cloth still stuck in his throat and a note attached that read "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. They are later shown being recounted by Risotto Nero as he remembers his rebellion against the boss to avenge them.

Trivia

 * 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).
