A STORY THAT MADE HISTORY

A STORY THAT MADE HISTORY

THE HISTORY OF A MYTH

The legend started in 1910, when Cavalier Ugo Stella acquired the shares of Società Italiana Automobili Darraq, the Italian plant of a French car maker. The first plant was at number 95 Strada del Portello in the north-west outskirts of Milan and the company was called “Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili” (Lombard Automobile Factory, Public Company), hence the acronym A.L.F.A.

THE BIRTH OF A LEGEND

The origins of Alfa Romeo date back to The Società Italiana Automobili Darracq, founded in 1906 and located at 95, Strada del Portello, Milan, Italy.

When economic hardship hit in 1909, company shares were acquired by the organization's managing director, Italian aristocrat Ugo Stella.

On June 24, 1910, Stella relaunched and renamed his plant Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili – A.L.F.A. or “Alfa”.

Alfa's First Merosi-Designed Vehicle, the 24HP

1910

Alfa's First Merosi-Designed Vehicle, the 24HP

Alfa’s young technical director, Giuseppe Merosi, was an ambitious young man who started out selling bicycles. Soon after, Merosi was designing cars and motorcycles for Fiat and Bianchi.

At Alfa, Merosi designed the first vehicle to come off the new production line at Portello in Milan, Italy. The 24HP featured a single block 4.1-liter engine, single drive shaft and reached a top speed of 62 mph.

Merosi Designed the Alfa Grand Prix

Merosi Designed the Alfa Grand Prix

Anxious to establish a reputation in international racing, Alfa assigned Giuseppe Merosi the task of designing a competitive sports car based on the 40-60 HP. The result was the Alfa Grand Prix, the first automobile to feature a twin spark ignition. The 4 cylinder 4.5-liter engine helped it to reach a top speed of 87 mph.

WWI Forced a Change of Plans

1915

WWI Forced a Change of Plans

During the First World War, Alfa lacked the funds needed to convert its automobile manufacturing. Nicola Romeo – a successful electrical engineer from Naples, Italy – purchased Alfa and other companies, and started producing airplane engines and portable compressors.

The firm was called Società Anonima Italiana Nicola Romeo & Company. The new badge was changed to read “Alfa-Romeo Milano”.

Alfa Prospered During WWI

1918

Alfa Prospered During WWI

Automotive production ceased during the war. Merosi was transferred to the Railway Workshops in Naples, Italy, but the company continued to prosper.

In the winter of 1918, investors decided to take the company public with a new make on the original name – “Alfa Romeo”. The new company name was officially registered February 3, 1918.

The Return to Automotive Production

1919

The Return to Automotive Production

Alfa Romeo resumed production at the end of the First World War. They began by assembling parts that were still in stock, and shortly after started designing new models.

The Grand Prix – which had been sold-off during the war – was reacquired. It proceeded to turn heads in a series of important Italian races in the early 1920s, such as the Mugello circuit, Parma-Berceto and Brescia circuit. A bright new era had begun.

Alfa Romeo Began Manufacturing the Alfa Romeo 159 and Brera

Alfa Romeo Began Manufacturing the Alfa Romeo 159 and Brera

This was an important year for production. Alfa Romeo 159 combined safety, performance and comfort without compromising design and racing appeal. The Brera was compact yet powerful. Its design was inspired by classic Alfa Romeo styling. It would become a benchmark for the coupe sector.

1920sThe Race Era

Alfa Romeo Launched Merosi's Masterpiece

1922

Alfa Romeo Launched Merosi's Masterpiece

Alfa Romeo launched its RL, featuring a straight-6 engine with an overhead rocker arm and valves, and brakes on all 4 wheels. The Alfa Romeo RL was a tremendous success. It became known as Giuseppe Merosi’s masterpiece. International orders poured in, and 2,640 automobiles were built.

Alfa Romeo RL Conquered the Targa Florio

1923

Alfa Romeo RL Conquered the Targa Florio

The legendary Alfa Romeo race car driver, Ugo Sivocci, wanted to break a string of second- place finishes. To prepare for the legendary Targa Florio race in Sicily, he painted a white square with a “Quadrifoglio”- a four-leaf clover - on the front of his Alfa Romeo RL Targa Florio.

As luck would have it, he finished in first place. Ascari finished second and Masetti fourth, both of whom were driving RLs. The victorious results of this difficult, open road, endurance race marked the beginning of Alfa Romeo's racing success.

Sivocci and his Four-leaf Clover

1923

Sivocci and his Four-leaf Clover

Shortly after his famous victory at the Targa Florio, Sivocci was testing a new race car at the Monza circuit that did not bear his lucky four-leaf clover and he tragically crashed and lost his life and a legend was born.

This marked the beginning of a tradition: all future Alfa Romeo race cars would feature the four-leaf clover on a white triangle — with the missing corner symbolizing the loss of Sivocci.

Today, Sivocci’s clover remains a symbol of race-worthy capabilities and, of course, a symbol of good luck.

The Launch of the P2

1924

The Launch of the P2

This marked the era of Vittorio Jano, one of the legends of Alfa Romeo racing. The great designer's first creation was the P2, the first Alfa Romeo with an 8-cylinder supercharged engine and two forced-induction carburetors. Only six models were built.

P2 became one of the best Grand Prix automobiles of the 1920s.

Alfa Romeo Won its First World Championship

Gastone Brilli Peri won Alfa Romeo's first World Championship in Jano's Gran Premio Tipo P2. Four Alfa Romeos crossed the finish line – one after the other – with a 45-minute lead on the fifth-placed driver.

The spectacular victory gave Alfa Romeo a reason to add the laurel wreath to its logo.

Alfa Romeo’s First Victory at the Mille Miglia

1928

Alfa Romeo’s First Victory at the Mille Miglia

Considered the “The World's Best Motor Race”, the Mille Miglia is an open-road endurance race consisting of a thousand-mile figure eight that loops through the Italian cities of Brescia and Rome.

In 1928, Campari and Ramponi won the record-breaking race in the new Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 compressor.

Alfa Romeo realized that its cars were becoming status symbols, and the company began to consider mass production.

The “Alfa” of Ferrari Racing Team

1929

The “Alfa” of Ferrari Racing Team

Enzo Ferrari established his Scuderia Ferrari racing team in Modena, Italy. It included more than 40 of the finest racing drivers of the age, including Ascari, Campari and Nuvolari. The team managed all of Alfa Romeo's racing achievements. The cars were known as “The Ferrari Racing Team Alfas”.

Once again, it was Jano who unveiled an iconic automobile. The 6C 1750 was launched at the Rome Motor Show in 1929. It was a variation of the 6C 1500, with a more powerful engine.Its exceptional performance was proven the following year when Nuvolari and Guidotti won the Mille Miglia race with a record setting average speed of 62 mph; they were followed by three more 6C 1750s – a truly epic result.

In 1974 Rudolf Hruska was appointed head designer at Alfa Romeo but it was the great Orazio Satta Puliga who expressed it best. Before leaving his role as technical director, during an interview in 1970, Puliga said:"Alfa Romeo is not just an automobile factory… It’s a kind of illness, a zeal for a means of transport. It’s a way of life, a unique view on how to design a motor vehicle. It’s all about feelings, passion, anything that has more to do with the heart than with the head.” It was, and continues to be, a “bug” every Alfa Romeo enthusiast shares.
