''Ciccio's son. The fact that he inherited his father's facial features bothers him to no end, but he's far too nice a kid to ever say anything about it.''

History
Elio was the firstborn child of Ciccio and Natalia. An unknown amount of time later, Elio became a big brother when his mother gave birth to Lucia. As he got older, Elio came to see that he had inherited his father's facial features, but he was not pleased about it for unknown reasons.

Prior to Sonic Unleashed, Elio witnessed the kidnapping of Professor Pickle by Dr. Eggman, and saw him being flown to Mazuri. Elio tried to tell his mother about what he saw, but she did not believe him. After the Earth was broken apart due to Dark Gaia's awakening, Elio saw Sonic, Tails and Chip arrive in Spagonia for the first time, and was rather surprised to see creatures such as them. Later on when Sonic and Chip were asking for clues to Professor Pickle's whereabouts, Elio helped them by telling them about what he saw when Professor Pickle was kidnapped and where he saw them take him, but then told them not to tell anybody, as no one would believe him.

At some point, Elio and Lucia realized that their mother's birthday was approaching, and the two of them decided to work together to give Natalia the best birthday ever. Elio and Lucia then came up with the idea that they should attempt to make their mother as beautiful as she was during her modeling career as their birthday gift to her. To this end, they formulated a plan they kept secret to both their parents.Lucia would steal her mother's food and eat it, so that Natalia would chase Lucia and get some exercise, and Elio would collect enough rings to buy their mother a nice piece of jewelry.

Occasionally, Elio would meet up with Lucia to hear how each of them were progressing with the plan, where he would tell her that he was doing great, while Lucia complained about how hard her part was. During the beginning of their plan, Elio saw Sonic and Chip head back to Mazuri, and he asked Sonic if it was far away, as he wondered if walking to Mazuri would make his mother lose weight. Later, when Sonic and Chip returned, Elio told Sonic about how everyone talked about how he saved Professor Pickle.

In order to save up rings in secret, Elio began sneaking out at night to collect rings, while claiming that he merely went on evening strolls. One night however, Elio found himself tracked by Sonic the Werehog, who had been sent by his father to bring him back, as he worried about his whereabouts. Elio however remained regrettably silent about his actions, much to his father's disappointment. Afterward, Elio told Sonic that he was surprised to see that his father had assigned him to find him, but told him that he could not tell him why he was out at night.

As Natalia's birthday came closer however, Elio heard from Lucia that she could no longer make her mother chase after her, which Elio remarked was a problem. Eventually, she and Elio decided to abandon their "forced diet" part of their plan. Things later took a turn for the worse, as Elio accidentally dropped all the rings he had collected. As Elio began to despair however, Sonic arrived and Elio explained to him how they planned to buy their mother a piece of jewelry, and then asked Sonic to help him round up more rings. Sonic soon after returned with enough rings, much to Elio's joy. Now feeling that he could trust Sonic, Elio told Sonic about their plan to make their mother as beautiful as she used to be.

Now that he had enough rings, Elio began to wonder what kind of jewelry they should give their mother and began consulting with Lucia. As they wondered what they should give her, Lucia suggested a new house and a mini-skirt, but Elio said that a house was too expensive and that their mother would never wear a mini-skirt. He then suggested that they should buy her a finger ring, and Lucia thought it was a nice idea. Unfortunately, all the pieces of jewelry they could find were too expensive. During their search in the town Elio found an old necklace and thought about giving that to Natalia as a present, but he found it too old and beat up to be a good gift.

Elio later met Sonic again and told him about their seemingly hopeless situation. Not long after however, Sonic comes back, and Elio asked if he was looking for something. He hears from Sonic that he was looking for Aida's lost necklace and Elio thought that the necklace he had found was hers. Elio then gladly handed it over to Sonic so he could return it to its owner. Later when Sonic returned, Elio saw that he had brought a ring from Aida as thank-you gift, and Elio said that this was the ring they were going to get for their mother, and was surprised they could just have it. He then thanked Sonic for his help and claimed that their mother was going to love it.

After having got the present, Elio and Lucia decided that they should celebrate their mother's birthday at Restaurant Swa where they could have dinner. They were unable to make a reservation however as the shop was closed, because the owner Gigi was having trouble coming up with new recipes. Elio's only hope was for Gigi to reopen again before her mother's birthday. Thanks to Sonic bringing Gigi new ingredients, Gigi reopened the restaurant in time, and Elio and Lucia could make their reservation. Afterwards, Elio was confident that their mother was going to love her birthday.

During the evening on their mother's birthday Elio and Lucia made their father wait in front of the restaurant, while Elio brought Natalia. On his way however, Elio met Sonic again and asked one last favor of him, which was to bring his mother to the restaurant instead of him, while he got ready to receive her. After Sonic brought Natalia to the restaurant, Elio thanked Sonic for all his help and together with his family. Elio celebrated her mother's birthday. She was overjoyed and thanked both him and Lucia for the best birthday ever.

After the birthday, Elio told Sonic that his parents had been all smiles since the birthday and said that he knew it would be worth all the trouble.
