i’ve always imagined diavolo’s father as an ordinary sardinian man rather than someone involved in crime
i believe the reason diavolo’s mother ended up robbing a bank was because she was desperately trying to get money for treatment for him after he became ill
(i love the parallels between their generation and diavolo’s own story
donatella dies from an illness while diavolo ends up trapped in a prison of his own making and similarly, diavolo’s father dies from illness while his mother ends up in an actual prison)
