In the profile at the beginning of the story, he was described as 20 years old, but at the end he was 21, so either that was a mistake or his birthday had come. A member of "Passione", he has an overwhelming appearance more like the final boss, and is the tallest and most rugged member of Bucciarati's team. One of the things he dislikes is bratty kids, and at first Apacchio hated Giorno as a bratty kid.

When Giorno is introduced as a member of the organization and is on Bucciarati's team, he offers Giorno a cup of his urine and urges him to drink it. He is fooled by Giorno's Stand ability. It was a scene that showed his playful side.
A cocky kid tells him to solve the mystery
When he goes to retrieve Polpo's hidden assets, he is attacked by Zucchero, who is after the hidden assets. Not knowing how to do it, Bucciarati urges him to use Apacchio's ability to solve the mystery, but Giorno, who did not trust Giorno, refuses. Giorno sacrifices himself and is attacked by the enemy so that he can solve the mystery. Apacchio, who activates his Stand, also takes a risk to solve the mystery. A cocky kid sacrifices himself to solve the mystery, so Apacchio says he will definitely solve it. In the end, he entrusts it to Bucciarati and gets caught himself.

Bucciarati clearly stated that he would betray the organization. Giorno knew the details, and since he joined the organization to defeat the boss in the first place, he decided to betray it along with Bucciarati, but it was Apacchio who first spoke up, wanting to know the reason. After hearing the reason, he decided to betray before anyone else, saying, "The only place I feel at ease is with you, Bucciarati." That's manly.

Apacchio's Stand ability is Moody Blues. It is a stand with excellent endurance, and can play past events that made him angry at that person up to the present like a recorded video. However, while the Stand is regenerating it is defenseless and cannot attack or defend, and cannot be controlled freely. Because of this, it is not a combat-type Stand, but rather a Stand for obtaining information, and I think it would have been extremely useful to a police officer.

When Leone Apacchio got a clue about the boss, he activated his stand and was killed by Doppio, one of the boss's split personalities, while trying to figure out the boss's true identity. This is also the first time a team member dies (Bucciarati is still alive, though in a zombie state), and what's shocking is how quickly he is killed, even though he was using his Stand.

After his death, Apacquio meets the senior police officer who died because of him. The senior police officer comforts Apacchio by saying, "You did well. I'm so proud of you," and tells him that he can't go back to his world. In his original world, Giorno tries to heal him, but it's too late. However, he shows everyone the face of his boss, who was revealed to Moody Blues as Death Mask.

Apacchio was never the fighting type, nor the type to take the initiative, but he had a heart that followed his beliefs when he decided to betray the organization along with Bucciarati. His death was very unfortunate, but even within the team, he was never the strongest, and if you teased him he would fail, and if he acted independently he would hold the team back, but sometimes he would do something incredibly good. Yes, Leone Apacquio was in a position similar to that of the Yellow Ranger.
