## Appearance and Character

Gemma has long dark hair, olive-green eyes, and a sweet pout. For her devotion to boxing and working out, Gemma has been described to have a breath-taking toned hourglass figure. For her conservative background, Gemma's style was often long dresses as her family disapproved of her wearing pants and tops. After her marriage to Savio, Gemma starts developing her personal style which is a lot more daring highlighting her figure.

Gemma's personality is described by her mother and Savio to have a heart of gold. She is very kind to others and loyal to her family. She is very sensitive emotionally, but strong and fierce when it comes to her beliefs and opinions. She is someone with a devoted character, as she will never give up when it comes to achieving her goals.

As a child Kiara describes her as a doll with a tomboy attitude. Later on, she is described as graceful and confident in the fighting cage.

## Camorra Chronicles

### Twisted Emotions

During a business meeting between Savio and Daniele, Gemma (then thirteen) is wary of Kiara Falcone due to her interest in Savio, but relaxes when Kiara reveals that she is Nino's wife. Gemma then asks when Savio will fight her as he had supposedly promised but Savio denies this and she leaves.

### Twisted Bonds

Gemma is seen fighting Savio in the cage and loses. When Kiara, Diego and Gemma watch Savio and Nino sparring, Gemma's crush on Savio is evident.

It is revealed that the Bazzolis are traditionalists, but Gemma is allowed to fight so that she can defend herself and ward off advances before marriage.

### Twisted Hearts

Gemma meets Savio for the first time when she is ten and falls for him instantly. Over the years her crush on him grows, but Savio stays away because she is too young, his friend Diego's little sister, and because of her family's traditionalist values.

Eventually, Savio beings to see Gemma in a new light and she hopes that he will ask for her hand. He does not because he doesn't want to marry and Gemma's father agrees to a bond between her and Michelangelo "Mick" Cantucci. Gemma is heartbroken but accepts her fate. Then, Savio challenges Mick to a fight for Gemma's hand and wins.

Finally promised to her long-time crush, Gemma is very happy but Savio has no intention of announcing an engagement any time soon to the dismay of the Bazzolis. Word of the fight for Gemma's hand spreads and she is provoked at school by being called "Falcone's whore" among other things. She breaks the guy's nose and is taken to the principal and confronted with possible expulsion. Diego comes to pick her up and confronts Savio, saying that the engagement needs to be made public so that Gemma's name is not dishonored. Reluctantly Savio complies and gives her an engagement ring with his initials much to her frustration.

She is disillusioned by the reality of the situation as Savio has no intention of stopping to sleep with other girls during their engagement and perhaps even marriage. The last straw comes when Gemma and her best friend Toni crash Savio's 22nd birthday party and she sees him with two girls. When she is being driven home by Savio's older brother Remo Falcone, she asks him to cancel her engagement to Savio. He doesn't do this but the relationship between the Bazzolis and Savio is icy after this. Gemma is disappointed and angry at how Savio is handling the situation and feels as if he is not taking it seriously.

Gemma is working in her family's restaurant Amalfi when it is attacked by the Bratva and claims the life of her father and grandmother. She fights one of the attackers and he is knocked out, falling on top of her and causing her to lose consciousness.

When Gemma awakes again, she is taken to the Falcone mansion by Savio. When trying to comfort her, Savio and Gemma share their first kiss - something which goes against her values since her first kiss is supposed to be in church on her wedding day.

Her brother Diego arrives at the mansion and the conversation turns to the Bazzoli's financial situation since they will not be able to pay for Carlotta's medical bills or surgery after the deaths of Daniele and Nonna Bazzoli. Savio and Gemma agree that her wedding gift will be Savio paying for the surgery and the wedding is set for two months later.

At her family's funeral, Gemma is crushed and overwhelmed by the sorrow and sadness. She asks Savio to get her away from the coffins and out of the church. He takes her into a side room where the two share another kiss which makes Gemma feel guilty while Savio tries to reassure her it is fine.

Their wedding is a splendid affair and so are the festivities held at the Falcone mansion. Despite Savio's intention to, they don't end up consummating their marriage that night as Gemma wants to wait until she feels that Savio takes their marriage seriously.

As she settles into the family, Gemma finds quick friends in Kiara and Serafina and begins to feel more comfortable. She and Savio develop a routine of morning gym sessions and movie nights in their wing of the mansion. Eventually, after some time they consummate their marriage. To signify a new step in their relationship, Savio alters Gemma's engagement ring to bear both of their initials and they confess their love for each other.

### Twisted Cravings

When Adamo takes Dinara to Christmas dinner, Gemma is reserved with her because she belongs to the Bratva, but after dinner and seeing how nice Dinara is with her family, she approaches her and offers an apology for not having her greeted before.

## Sins of the Fathers

## Trivia

* For Valentine's day 2023 Savio gave Gemma a voucher for a bull ride… with the comment: “You know where to find it.” Gemma rolled her eyes but because this was the first morning in a while that they had for themselves, she accepted the present and rode her bull. Savio later gifted her new boxing gloves in a berry tone with her name in gold lettering.
