In hopes of winning the money needed for a Vespa, the boys team up with Giulia for the triathlon. When Ercole tries to soak Luca in a fountain, Giulia Marcovaldo, a young girl, stops him. The boys run afoul of Ercole Visconti, the local bully and five-time champion of the Portorosso Cup, a children's triathlon of swimming, pasta-eating, and biking. In retaliation, Luca runs away with Alberto to hide out in Portorosso. Upon discovering their son's actions, Luca's parents decide to send him to live in the deep with his uncle. Luca and Alberto begin hanging out and become friends, and they wish to own a Vespa and travel around the world. When Alberto encourages Luca to venture out of the ocean, it is revealed that sea monsters turn into humans as long as they are dry. One day, Luca meets Alberto Scorfano, a fellow sea monster child who lives alone in an abandoned tower on dry land. His parents forbid him from approaching the surface, fearing that he might be hunted by humans. In the late 1950s, timid sea monster child Luca Paguro herds goatfish off the coast of the Italian town of Portorosso. A related short film starring Alberto, titled Ciao Alberto, was released on Disney+ on November 12, 2021. At the 94th Academy Awards, the film was nominated for Best Animated Feature, but lost to Encanto (2021).
