### Status

Alive

Nazzaro "Narancia" Ghiberti is a minor character in Fate of Zephyr. In Vento Aureo, Nazzaro is Narancia Ghirgha of Team Bucciarati and Mela Ghirgha's son.

## Appearance

Nazzaro is a teenage boy of average height and figure. He has a childish face and messy dark hair with a fringe over his purple eyes, a trait he shares with his mother. According to Mela, he is known to have a very toothy grin.

When Andreas encountered Nazzaro while waiting on his team to investigate Marsala, Nazzaro briefly encounters him wearing a striped polo shirt, tan slacks, and laced up orange sneakers. He sports a backpack that is decorated with airplane patches. He also wears a brown aviator jacket, which he ties around his waist.

## Personality

Much of Nazzaro's personality is only known through what Mela remembers and Andreas Arancini can tell based on their interaction.

Similar to his mother and the original Narancia, Nazzaro is loud, childish, and a happy teenager. He is often reported by teachers as expressing random thoughts out loud in class and occasionally playing around when lessons are being taught. Still, it allowed him to befriend many classmates, albeit said classmates often do so with ill intentions. Having lost his mother, believing her to still be in the mental hospital, and his father being very neglectful throughout his life, Nazzaro values his friends above all and considered "friendship" the most valuable thing in the world. However, he is unable to see the difference between genuine friendships and those who are using him, until Andreas pointed out that he should be careful with who he becomes friends with. Because he was sheltered by his mother, he still retains some immaturity and innocence that carried on into his life even in the present. He also shares his mother's fear of being excluded, willing to do anything to be accepted by those around him.

Unlike the original Narancia, Nazzaro is academically bright and studious when need be, as Andreas mentioned that he has a great interest in airplanes.

 Nazzaro was born Nazzaro Ghirgha, but often referred by to by his mother as Narancia. He later changed his last name to Ghiberti after his father passed away.

## Childhood and Disappearance of Mela

Nazzaro was mostly raised by her mother, with his father acting as a distant parents for much of his life. Despite his age, he was well aware of his mother's behavior towards him and the awkward relationship between Mela Ghirgha and his father.

## During the Events of Fate of Zephyr

While waiting for the rest of The Hitman Team at their headquarters, Andreas Arancini decided to go outside for some fresh air, leaving the other team members behind. As he walked by to a coffee shop, he encounters a group of teenage boys running to his direction, Nazzaro being one of them. Nazzaro ended up bumping into Andreas, and falling, which caused the other boys to leave him behind and Andreas to help him up.

Nazzaro apologizes as he struggled to quickly get up, saying that football player Alessandro Nesta was spotted a few blocks away and his friends wanted to see if they could see him. Andreas tells him that was a lie, as he himself would have known due to his own interest in the sport, and that friends shouldn't abandon their own just because one isn't able to catch up. Nazzaro tells Andreas he knew that his friends would act in such a way, hinting that it had been done in the past, but explained that he feared he would never have any friends if he calls out their actions or refuses to comply. Andreas noticed Nazzaro's backpack and asked if he was interested in airplanes, to which Nazzaro responded excitedly about how he was going to design an airplane himself once he goes to Polytechnic University of Milan and graduates as an aerospace engineer. However, he then mutters about how his friends seemed to laugh at his interest, calling his airplane patches and aviation jacket "silly and stupid".

Andreas then tells him that he could choose to continue following his friends and suffer from them treating him in such a way, or find new friends who genuinely care for him and at least respect his interests. He further says that going to university will let him meet people who will share those interests and maybe help him find better friends. Nazzaro thinks about it, and decides to take Andreas' advice by deciding to treat himself to a Margherita pizza. He thanks the older man and vows that he will be he best student and airplane designer the world will ever see. Before Andreas let him go, he gives Nazzaro a small sealed envelope, only telling him to open it when he arrives home by himself and let no one else see what is inside. Nazzaro thanks him for the gift and runs off in the other direction opposite of his friends while the other man watches fondly.

Andreas overhears from some people nearby that Nazzaro's father passed away a few years ago and Nazzaro changed his last name to his mother's maiden name. He also learns that Nazzaro is living with an elderly couple that ended up mostly caring for him when his mother was admitted to the hospital, adopting him after his father's death, and are preparing to send him off to college after he graduates from *scuola superiore*. Andreas would later tell these details to Mela as she died, allowing her to rest knowing the whereabouts of her son and the future he will have. He later hears that the friends who were trying to lead Nazzaro away were planning on using him as a scapegoat for an armed robbery on an elderly woman- only to have their plans foiled and everyone else involved to be arrested instead.

It was revealed that Andreas gave Nazzaro an actual signed copy of a photo of Alessandro Nesta from a few weeks ago that Andreas got for himself. Nazzaro plans to cherish the photo, not because it had the famous football player, but because it reminded him of the encounter he had with the mafioso. Nazzaro Ghiberti/Trivia
