it’s really funny how Luca dreamed up exactly what he wanted, and the universe just handed it to him like it was some monkey’s paw situation
yeah you want an outwardly confident 5’4 tan boy with a yellow tank + brown shorts standing on a boat. here you go. he’s really cool & gonna show you the surface & super obsessed w you too,
but watch out!

Hi! If you’re new here, I’m Andie, and that’s not my real name! I have a question for all my fellow Luca fans, what is your personal head canon for adult Alberto’s appearance? This is just a little poll. If none of the three main options fit, go ahead and comment what you think for the whole world to see!

Luca loves Isola del Mare. At the end of the movie, it was presented as the eye of a storm — a break of golden light in an otherwise dim environment — because, to him, the island was an overall positive experience. It was a place of exploration, liberation, friendship, and budding dreams.
But Alberto hated it.
This line makes that fact clear enough:
Isola del Mare was a place of hurt. It was keeping him being okay, because instead of it being an icon of newfound freedom and joy, it was an icon of isolation, abandonment, abuse.
Luca would go back. Luca wants to go back, but Alberto does not, despite the summer he spent there with Luca, because one month of fun doesn’t eliminate possible years of forced solitude.

I just spent like 3 ish hours trying to figure out a floor plan for the Marcovaldo household (the things that writing does to you) and I think I've got something at least. Somewhat comprehensible. Gonna be under a cut because there's a LOT because I just love yapping.
So we can start with the kitchen area, as that's what we see most of.
The first shot doesn't show much that's super useful, honestly, but it puts some perspective into play that I think is just helpful to look at. The next two, though, are VERY useful.
We can establish that the balcony is next to the stove area, which is adjacent to the wall with the window. I put a picture of the balcony from the outside, which faces the plaza, just to be anal tbh. So, now we can also establish that, in the beginning of the scene where they meet Massimo, the entrance Luca, Alberto, and Giulia enter into the kitchen is opposite of the plaza. And, as I noted a little, that window in the 4th image faces the sea. I've drawn out a mini kitchen floor plan (please excuse my handwriting):
Made an assumption that that is Massimo's bed, and I also marked the tomato just to really drill in that the balcony was the same balcony. I don't know why I needed to put so much convincing.
So that's nice right? This is the room that I'm the most confident in out of everything. But there's a lot more to the house. I looked at Giulia's room next, since that's the only other interior room that we see in the film.
So we can establish that that window of hers faces the sea, as it leads directly to the hide-out. Opposite to the window is her door, which you can see when she turns around in the scene where she shows Luca the woderful life of Education(tm) and also in that third screenshot a little bit. Also, based on placement of the windows from outside shots, that places her room behind the kitchen (if you are facing the house from the plaza).
Also note that mystery window. I have no idea what that window is, but it doesn't appear in Giulia's room and it doesn't appear in the kitchen, so it's safe to assume that there's a room between Giulia's and the kitchen. In the second image you can see it a bit more clearly, but it is also one panel wide, whereas the windows both in Giulia's room and in the kitchen are two panels. Also, in the third image (and in the very first image of this whole post) you can see there's a space cutting into the kitchen as well, which I didn't really properly point out earlier.
Floor plan #2 (note: there's no entrance to the mystery room, that's on purpose for now, just one sec):
In those notes I kinda skipped ahead a bit, so let's talk about that doorway for a sec.
There is absolutely some doorway there. Leading somewhere. You can argue that maybe that is a window (which, note (love saying 'note'), it would be facing a VERY close brick wall of the house neighboring the Marcovaldo's), but this makes that less plausible:
When Luca and Alberto enter the house, they come in from the right side, where that doorway would be. You can argue cartoon logic of appearing impossibly out of nowhere, but this movie hasn't really played into that too much (aside from the scene when Luca sees the alarm clock, but I'd argue that the movement he did there is definitely possible and not like rabbit out of the hat type of physics). It's pretty clear that the way you get into the kitchen in the house is by entering through whatever doorway that leads off to.
Also, in the image you can see I added some text. That's to point out that, not only is there a doorway to the right of the kitchen door (from the image pov), but there's also one to the left. It's clear that there is some light being let off from the left direction that is lighting up that little hallway they're in. Also, if you were to watch the scene in real time, the door casts a shadow to the right when Giulia opens it, confirming that there's definitely some light specifically coming from the left. So, that light has a high chance of coming from that mystery window room. I'm gonna say that that's where that room lies.
Going back to the doorway thing, something that that brings a bit of dilemma about:
There's like no space at all for that doorway to fit. The house pretty clearly has an external wall against where Massimo's bed is placed. My solution was that, given that we never see a perfect shot of that side of the house (**IN LUCA (2021). I HAVE TO COME BACK TO THIS IN A BIT.), there's just like,, a part that juts out.
Floor plan #3 (also now there's an entrance to ? room):
I also figured that there has to be some way to get up, so I was like "okay cool steps go somewhere in here."
Boom, Floor plan #4 and also where I was like "okay this is it.":
(Quickly, because I forgot I even noted it, the alley steps is in reference to where you can see some steps in an alleyway leading up towards where I figured the building would jut out. So, just for fun, not necessarily accepting that it was actually a part of the house, maybe those steps led up to a door that also reached that landing there.)
Also quickly, there is a side room on the house that I haven't brought up yet:
So, I originally saw that part of the house and then figured that maybe it simply wasn't apart of the Marcovaldo house because of the way those steps went up. I figured that if there was a structure directly above them, then there would be more shadow.
However, it wasn't until I saw THIS shot from Ciao, Alberto that made me go "oh shit."
Because it's legit just pushed back, but it's definitely still apart of the house. So, it makes sense that the shadow cast isn't super strong. That, and the architecture matches the house.
So, floor plan #6. I added in that little part of the house, but I still don't really know what it's for:
I started going "yeah, okay, yeah, awesome, let me just watch through Ciao, Alberto to make sure there's not any other ground breaking-"
It is pretty clear that there is nothing red jutting out from the side to allow room for the doorway I was talking about earlier. Remember this?
That ** was future me crying and ripping apart my other floor plans. HOWEVER!! There is still a random staircase in that little alleyway which also randomly cuts off at a certain point.
My next, and final, idea is this:
It's possible that that doorway they come in from is actually an external door leading into the house, and those steps lead to it. Also, in the scene right after Machiavelli attacks Luca and Alberto, the underdogs walk out of a side door leading into the backyard. It's possible that they went out that alley-door and then went back in through the pescheria's main entrance and THEN went out the side door, but they look pretty-freshly attacked aka little to no first aid and also they were leaving, so why would they go back into her house? I think there's still an internal staircase leading to that floor ALONGSIDE that external alley-door. This is also not even a rare thing, especially in houses where there's a business on the bottom and a living area on top. Even the house I grew up in actually had an external staircase alongside an internal one (granted, that's due to it being a somewhat-duplex, but still).
Also, I don't know what this area is.
But I've seen a few fics where Alberto's room was in the attic and I don't know why, but that appeals to me for some reason (though he's seen in Giulia's bed in Ciao, Alberto. shhhh..). Also that may or may not have been what sparked literally all of this. The way to access that has to be through an attic ladder in the kitchen. We never see a shot of the ceiling of the kitchen, though, so unfortunately that's just up to my imagination.
Also that mystery room could totally be a staircase. In the final floor plan you can see I wrote and then erased where I thought there might be steps. I erased it because I confused the laundry outside of the kitchen window with that little window. That could totally also be a staircase instead of in the top right corner. Go nuts. Actually, I think that makes more sense than the top right, anyway. It's like 12:30AM though now and I'm pretty sure I'm keeping my roommate awake so I can't draw any more floor plans.
PLEASE feel free to discuss or dispute or point out anything you think I missed or got wrong. I made this mostly for myself because I couldn't find a render of the house and I'm extremely anal when I write fics and needed just some guidelines to follow.
(Except, please don't go "haha you're overthinking this" or "sometimes you gotta accept that they probably didn't plan out the house fully and there's some plotholes." I know. I'm just having fun)

“Why did Sra. Marsigliese say ‘This year’s winners of the Portorosso Cup: The Underdogs” when the team was split up, and Luca was technically racing alone?”
Because if Alberto hadn’t snuck up on Luca with the Scuba gear, Luca wouldn’t have been able to do the swimming part. Because if Giulia hadn’t shown Luca how to twirl the fork, he would’ve lost at the pasta-eating portion. Because if Alberto hadn’t come to save Luca with the umbrella, he never would’ve biked the downhill. Because if Giulia had never slammed her bike into Ercole, Luca would’ve never made it on the downhill.
Because even if you force them apart, they are still an inseparable, single unit.

It’s a small detail (that I may be over-analyzing) but instead of putting his arms out in front of him (like how you do when you’re gonna fall), Luca instead circumducts his arms like he’s swimming.
He’s not entirely accustomed to gravity/falling yet. Good detail!
