Risotto Nero: Moros
Moros is the Greek God of impending doom, so in my opinion, who's better to fit that role than the leader of the assassin team Risotto Nero himself. Moros was regarded as merciless and inevitable, thus him being and feared by mortal people and Gods alike. Even after his victims die, Moros continues to torment them in the afterlife, because of this he is commonly called, "The All-Destroying God".
Prosciutto: Kairos
Prosciutto's stand ability to age people made me think of Chronos, but I decided that the lesser-known Kairos would be a much better fit. While Kairos is also a deity who represents time, he is considered the embodiment of opportunist time. Prosciutto has to take action not only for his sake but also for Pesci and the rest of his team.
Pesci: Triton
I chose to represent Pesci with the minor water deity since he's considered a younger and less experienced member of La Squadra. Triton is the one who raises the ocean waves. He's also often represented with a tail, and I thought that it would be an interesting trait to give Pesci since he stands out most out of the other members of La Squadra.
Formaggio: Até
Choosing a deity for Formaggio was very difficult since we don't have a lot of insight into La Squadra's life outside of Veto Aureo and his stand ability is pretty cut and dry. So, I went with what I had and chose Até the Goddess of mischief and folly. Formaggio is shown to be quite cruel for instance, he has no problem shrinking Narancia and pitting him against a spider.
Illuso: Momus
Momus is the Greek God of satire, mockery, and blame. Illuso being one of the cockiest members of La Squadra poking fun at everything and criticizing his teammates conveys Momus's goal to find fault in anything and everything so that he could ridicule it. Momus also has a dark side. He would often instill in men feelings of failure in regards to new ideas or new ventures, which can be attributed to Illuso endlessly chastising Formaggio about his stand or his fight with Fugo, Abbachio, and Giorno.
Melone: Aphrodite
At first, I was going to represent Melone as Eros, but Aphrodite seemed much more fitting because of her promiscuous nature. Aphrodite is the Greek Goddess of love, beauty, and fertility; she had many lovers both gods and men with whom she had a copious number of children. Melone himself being very fixated on fertility and childbirth because of his stand.
Ghiaccio: Boreas
I'm glad that Boreas, the Greek god of the northern wind was the perfect match for Ghiaccio. Boreas was said to bring winter and snow from the Thrake mountains. Their personalities also match quite well, Boreas is depicted as being very strong, with a violent temper to match and Ghiaccio sports the same fiery temper. Ghiaccio's White Album is also a perfect representation of winter.
Gelato+Sorbet: Zelus+Plutus
These two were almost impossible to figure out, seeing how little they appear in both the anime and manga, so I had to take some creative liberties. I see Gelato as someone who wears an unwavering smirk at all times. He knows his teammates well so he'll often tease them. It pleases him when he can get a rise out of someone. I also see him as jealous and controlling in his relationship with Sorbet. For these reasons, I chose to represent him as Zelus, the god of jealousy, rivalry, and zeal. As for Sorbet, we know that he is very materialistic and loves money. He would be the one to calm and reassure Gelato whenever he would get aggravated. I also see sorbet as a very literal person who has trouble reading people he doesn't know very well. Therefore, I represented Sorbet as Plutus, the Greek God of wealth.
