Alberto Scorfano

Alberto Scorfano is the deuteragonist of 's 24th full-length animated feature film , and the titular main protagonist of its short film, . He is Massimo Marcovaldo's adoptive son, Giulia Marcovaldo's adoptive brother, and Luca Paguro's best friend.
He is voiced by , who also played Eddie Kaspbrak in the It films, Freddy Freeman in Shazam and its 2023 sequel, and Barney Pudowski in Ron's Gone Wrong.
==Appearance ==
In human form, Alberto is slender and muscular with tan skin and light freckles, bright green eyes, and golden-brown curly hair that is styled tall and has a cowlick. He wears a yellow tank top, and brown shorts held up with a rope.
In sea monster form, he has periwinkle scales, sharp teeth, and purple "hair". His eyes are still green, but they have bright yellow sclera and oval-shaped pupils. He also has a long tail with purple caudal fins, however, they're noticeably sharper and more angular than Luca's.
He has a scar on his upper left arm, presumably by a harpoon. In human form, it's a barely noticeable pale marking, while in his sea monster form, it appears as a cut.
==Personality==
Alberto is shown to be brave and proud, all while not being afraid to try new things, no matter how dangerous they may seem. An example of this is when Luca is afraid to ride their hand-made Vespa down a hill and off of a ramp, Alberto explains to him that is his "Bruno" and tells him to say the following when afraid, "Silenzio, Bruno!"
Deep down, Alberto is shown to be envious and lonely due to his father abandoning him. This caused him to live on his own for over a year. After meeting and befriending Luca, Alberto forms a close bond with him as the two plan to buy a Vespa and live their lives on the run. When Luca starts to spend time with Giulia during their training for the race and learning about school, Alberto shows clear jealousy, sadness and fear over losing Luca.
His love for Luca helps him brush away his fear of being alone again. This is shown when he arrives at the race to encourage Luca, despite initially being mad after he betrays him after revealing his sea monster form to Giulia, and when he sacrificed himself to Ercole as a sea monster in order to let Luca win even though this would lead to his death. 
He later sells the Vespa they won with the prize money to buy Luca a ticket for the train so he could go with Giulia to live with her mother and attend school, showing him in a more considerate and selfless light. He is even more heartfelt upon hearing Giulia's father Massimo is willing to take him in as his adopted son.
