Vanni is a philosopher. Though he studied pre-law in college at his father's urging, it was his philosophy minor that truly intrigued him. Plato, Descartes, Kant, Einstein, Freud, Aristotle. He enjoys reading their essays and personally committing them to memory for later use. He also writes for The Arcadia Times (the city's most widely read newspaper), a hobby he adopted from his twin sister Kali when he read one of her college articles and felt he could do a better job. It started out as a benign joke, but once he took up the pen, he couldn't stop. Now he authors editorials, criticizing the government's response to criminal organizations. He also works for his grandfather who, at 74, is still the don of the D'Alassio family business. He's almost a capodecina; a few more perfectly executed assignments will win him the title. Problem is, Vanni tends to be more liberal in his thought than his father. The young man is free-spirited and down-to-earth. He lives his life by the day, taking them one hour at a time. When it comes to the mafia, he's smart, calm, and efficient. His background in philosophy gives him reason to analyze all possible angles to a situation, but sometimes Vanni thinks too much, and will take far too long to make an executive decision on a matter. It's an unending cycle that's kept Giovanni Sr. on his feet. Vanni on the other hand couldn't see it any other way. Too much structure unnerves him, and he prefers more room to do things his way. He's not neccessarily a social person, in that years will pass between his first and second date. In fact, it almost seems Vanni doesn't even think about relationships. Friendships, however, are a different matter. He likes to make new friends all the time. It's not uncommon to see him strike up a conversation with a complete stranger as if the person was his best friend. He always says his hello's and goodbye's, and does his best to make sure the communication lines in any friendship are open and clear
