### Status

Unknown

Dr. Dolcio is a member of The Special Unit and a minor antagonist in Fate of Zephyr. In Vento Aureo, he is Cioccolata of L' Unità speciale.

A once praised and reputable medical doctor with specialization in anesthesiology and interest in cosmetic surgery, he initially started out in mortuary school before bribing his way into the medical field. Despite being known for his acts of malpractice, he retained his medical license due to bribery and switching careers to avoid further suspicion. This was also made easier when he became a part of Passione alongside Secco, but their relationship was revealed to be rather different compared to the original Cioccolata and Secco. He is revealed to be the doctor that helped Olio Nero mercy kill Dante di Nero many years ago, using it to coerce Olio into doing his bidding or refusing to react to any actions against him and his team. It is unknown what happened to him at the end of Fate of Zephyr beyond being injured and defeated by Giorno Giovanna and Zura Grattachecca, leaving Rome in garbage truck as a result.

He is also a natural-born Stand user of Hybrid Theory, able to extract any Stand user's Stand ability and use it for himself.

## Personality

To the outside world, very little is known about Dr. Dolcio, although his partner Secco is even more enigmatic.

However, it is revealed that Dr. Dolcio is not the dominant partner he portrays himself as. It is revealed that he has a dependent relationship on Secco, something that Secco himself uses to his advantage often, and seen in his final voicemail message to the latter.

## Abilities

### Medical and Mortuary Practice

As a former doctor, his specialization involves the field of human psychology, anesthesiology, and cosmetic surgery. Prior to his time as a medical student, he had experiences regarding mortuary science.

It is the first two specialization that allowed him to not only have a high aptitude in toxicology but also pose himself easily as a licensed psychologist to oversee the treatment of Mela Ghirgha.
