Scolippi

Scolippi (スコリッピ) is a minor character featured in Part V: Vento Aureo.

Appearance and Personality
Scolippi can be considered to be an overt representation of Jesus Christ. Physically, he bears a "Crown of Thorns" head decoration, and is shot in both hands by Guido Mista (the Stigmata) while being interrogated.

Even after having been mistreated and misunderstood by both his ex-girlfriend's father and the assassins sent to kill him, Scolippi bears none of them any ill will, as he sees people as puppets who are unable to escape their fates. He even prays for Buccellati's assassins when his stand cannot chase them down anymore.

Synopsis
Scolippi is introduced as an artist suspected of killing his girlfriend. Her father requests Bruno Buccellati to bring him justice, as even the courts declared Scolippi innocent and not guilty of her death.

When Guido Mista is sent out to take care of the job and extract a confession from the sculptor, Scolippi denies having used his stand to kill his girlfriend, and is beaten and shot mercilessly while his explanation for his stand's ability is brushed aside out of disbelief. Meanwhile, his stand chases down Buccellati, and Mista struggles to prevent it from doing so. When Mista finally believes Scolippi's explanations, Scolippi was already unconscious.

After Buccellati survives Rolling Stones's ability, Scolippi worries for the difficulties that will lie ahead of Buccellati's group due to his survival from Rolling Stones and decides to pray for their success.

Trivia

 * The flashback arc Scolippi is featured in is largely based off of the introduction to The Godfather, in which Amerigo Bonasera pleads Don Vito Corleone to take revenge on the boys who beat his daughter.
 * Scolippi's stand ability, Rolling Stones, displays itself before people fated to "die", and offers them "salvation" (in this case, a peaceful death), tying further into the Christ imagery he is associated with.
