Alberto Scorfano

Alberto Scorfano is the deuteragonist of the 2021 Disney/Pixar animated feature film, Luca.

Background[]

Alberto Scorfano is an independent, free-spirited 14-year-old sea monster with unbridled enthusiasm for the human world. Expressive and gregarious, he is all about having fun, so inviting a fellow sea monster to hang out above the surface is a no-brainer for Alberto. Besides, Luca is the perfect audience for Alberto’s vast – albeit questionable – knowledge of all things human.

Physical appearance[]

In sea monster form, Alberto has periwinkle scales and purple "hair". His eyes are still green, but they have yellow sclera and oval shaped pupils. He also has a long tail with purple caudal fins.

In human form, Alberto has tan skin with freckles, green eyes, and brown curly hair. He wears a yellow tank top with brown shorts and is barefoot all the time, like Luca.

Trivia[]

His surname, Scorfano, is Italian for "redfish".
Alberto was rumored to be just a human until it was confirmed that he, like Luca, was a sea monster.
As hinted by an interview by Enrico Casarosa, Alberto's first name comes from Enrico's childhood friend.
A running gag features Alberto getting covered in water which reveals his true form and he tries to hide to turn back to human.
