Official Description
''In Italy in 2001, Giorno Giovanna joins the Italian mob and attempts to take it down from the inside. Accompanied by Bruno Bucciarati and other Stand Users in the gang, he learns of the secrets of the Stand Arrow, and attempts to stop their illusive boss Diavolo from taking it for himself.''

Summary
The fifth part, set in 2001 in Italy, follows DIO's son Giorno as he dismantles the Italian mob from the inside. Giorno is blessed with the good fortune and chivalry of a Joestar, technically being a descendant of Jonathan due to DIO inhabiting his body, as well as blessed with a Stand ability. Giorno joins Bruno Bucciarati, Guido Mista, Leone Abbachio, and the other members of Passione, attempting to take down the mob's illusive boss: Diavolo. The plot goes much deeper, as the lore behind the Stand Arrows is revealed, and the secrets that the Arrow's possess are finally brought out. The part ends with Giorno using the arrow to transform his Stand into Gold Experience Requiem, and defeating Diavolo once and for all, taking his place as the leader of Passione.

Trivia

 * Episode titles, the names of the soundtrack, and other songs are written in Italian.
 * The anime also makes use of Italian in all forms of text throughout the part.
 * It is commonly mistaken that the Stand Arrow in this part (stylized with a beetle emblem) is unique from the ones introduced in the previous part. This is incorrect, as there is no in-universe or outside source that claims that this is true.
 * Part 5 is highly inspired by The Godfather movies.
 * Golden Wind ends with Giorno becoming the leader of Passione getting his hand kissed by his capos, this directly mirrors the end of The Godfather, when Michael Corleone becomes the head of the mob and his hand is kissed in a similar fashion.
