Unlike Gaston, [[TookALevelInJerkass who becomes more and more violent, crueler and unhinged]] [[BigBadSlippage as the story unfolds]], Vincenzo genuinely [[JerkassRealization genuinely repents]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone for his bad actions]] and [[TookALevelInKindness tries to become a better person]].

229	* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: A same sex example when Vincenzo doesn't understand at all why Alberto is so special in Luca's eyes, [[spoiler: thus lampshading the gradual birth of his rivalry with Alberto for Luca's affections]].
