Alberto Morrocco OBE FRSA FRSE RSW RP RGI LLD (14 December 1917 – 10 March 1998) was a Scottish artist and teacher.
[1] Morrocco was born in Aberdeen in 1917, the son of Italian immigrants, Domenic Antonio Marrocco and Celesta Crolla.
His father had an ice cream shop in the city and the signwriter accidentally wrote the name as Morrocco and the name then stuck.
The outbreak of the Second World War saw him detained in Edinburgh Castle, as an enemy alien, but he was released and allowed to serve as a conscientious objector in the Royal Army Medical Corps.
Even late in his life and seriously ill, he would commit himself to exhibitions of thirty or forty new works in a year.
