[JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure] Was Dio actually evil from birth?

Speedwagon claims that he can “smell” that Dio was inherently evil from birth. I am assuming that he was just being dramatic and not literal, but stranger things have happened in the JoJoVerse.

Is it true? If Mrs. Brando had taken Dio away as a baby and raised him herself, would he have still grown into an evil vampire supervillain?

Too subjective. We're just guessing now. He was raised in poverty by an abuse drunk. That's obviously going to affect him. Was that alone enough to make him want to kill dogs, poison people, and attempt the murder of someone who helped him? Prooobably not... but maybe?

I think you would've still seen his ruthless ambitious attitude come through even if he were raised in a better household, but he probably wouldn't have been the villainous type he turned out to be in the end. Maybe more like a shrewd businessman or politician with little morals towards things that would help propel him further.
