Giovanni Casa is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a minor character in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (set in 1998). Casa is an associate of the Leone Family and owns a delicatessen, for which he pays protection money to Ma Cipriani. He is voiced by Joel Jones.

Character history

Giovanni Casa, at some point prior to 1998, opened his own delicatessen in Chinatown, Liberty City and began paying protection money to restaurant owner Ma Cipriani. Cipriani later criticises her son Toni for not meeting her high standards and comparing him to Casa. Toni later follows Casa from his deli and takes photos of him dressed in a diaper chasing two prostitutes. The pictures, however, do not alter her opinion of Casa who, due to the photos, stops paying his protection money. Cipriani then dispatches her son to kill him, with Toni luring Casa to the sawmill and cutting his body up, later delivering Casa's cut up body to his deli as stock.

+==Character history==
+Giovanni Casa, at some point prior to [[1998]], opened his own [[Giovanni's Deli|delicatessen]] in [[Chinatown, Portland|Chinatown]], [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] and began paying protection money to [[Momma's Ristorante|restaurant]] owner [[Ma Cipriani]]. Cipriani later criticises her son [[Toni Cipriani|Toni]] for not meeting her high standards and comparing him to Casa. Toni later follows Casa from his deli and takes [[Camera|photos]] of him [[Snappy Dresser|dressed in a diaper chasing two prostitutes]]. The pictures, however, do not alter her opinion of Casa who, due to the photos, stops paying his protection money. Cipriani then dispatches her son to kill him, with Toni luring Casa to the [[Liberty City Sawmills|sawmill]] and cutting his body up, later delivering Casa's cut up body to his deli as stock.
-== Description ==
-Casa runs one of [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City's]] most famous Italian delis. He has caught the eye of [[Ma Cipriani]] with his special spicy Sicilian sausage. Giovanni is a tough talker, but when it comes time to back it up, he reverts to his true cowardly self. In addition, he is secretly interested in infantilism in which [[Toni Cipriani|Toni]] takes a picture of him in a diaper.
-Nothing would please Toni more than showing his beloved Ma what Giovanni is really like. Toni tries everything, including taking pictures of a diaper-wearing Casa picking up hookers, but Ma refuses to believe that Casa is worse than her son. Only when Casa stops paying protection money does Ma despise him. Toni kills Casa for not paying up (by hacking him to death with a fire axe at a sawmill and delivering his chopped corpse back to his own deli, disguised as meat for cooking which impresses one of his employees there who says "Casa will sure love this meat!"), but this still does not please Ma, who says that Toni's father would have killed Casa long before Toni decided to.
-Casa was voiced by [[Joel Jones]].
