6: Eating habits and sample daily menu?
Prosciutto’s got generally bad eating habits. He likes really rich, unhealthy foods, mostly because that’s what he was raised on as a kid. Pastas with really heavy sauces and desserts that are really sweet and hard to eat a lot of are always his favorites. He stays close to home, though, and usually visits family-owned restaurants around where he lives.
He doesn’t actually read??? a whole lot??? He usually limits his daily reading to newspapers and work-related reading. He does like the occasional mystery or horror story, though.
He’s fond of red wines, though he’ll drink whatever’s available. For non-alcoholic drinks, he prefers milder sodas.
24: Is there one subject of study that they excel at? Or do they even care about intellectual pursuits at all?
He doesn’t really excel more at one thing than another; he tries to be good in everything he puts his mind to.
30: Reaction to sudden intrapersonal disaster (eg close family member suddenly dies)?
He’s very stoic, and he’s used to family tragedies, so by now he doesn’t really react? If something happened to his mother, he would be very upset, though, because she’s his only remaining blood family, and if something else happened to any member of la squadra, he’d also be very, very upset.
36: What makes them feel guilty?
Not much these days. Only when he has to involve a lot of innocent people during a job. He usually doesn’t feel guilty about it until he comes home, though.
42: How far did they get in formal education? What are their views on formal education vs self-education?
Prosciutto went to a private, Catholic-based school until he had to abandon school for familial obligations at sixteen. He made sure to keep up his education as much as he could personally, but he didn’t get much farther than that.
He admires self-taught people a lot of the time, mostly because it takes a good deal of effort to teach oneself.
48: If this person were to get into a fist fight, what is their fighting style like?
It’s bad; Prosciutto doesn’t have the strength to fight hand-to-hand very well ( and he can’t rely on the Grateful Dead either, since the stand cannot fight and balance on its hands at the same time. )
He prefers to stay at a distance and fight once the Grateful Dead’s ability has had time to weaken his opponent.
