As years went by, Alberto went from his initial bemusement to desperate frustration and eventually to wry resignation. The real "Beppe" (supposedly a friend of Enrico's) has never actually appeared in the strip, while Enrico eventually admitted he now ''knows'' that Alberto isn't Beppe, he's just using it as a nickname.
