Alfa romeo
Alfa Romeo, formally known as Alfa Romeo Automobiles S.p.A., is an Italian luxury car manufacturer. The company was founded as A.L.F.A. (Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili) on June 24, 1910, in Milan. Alfa Romeo has a rich and storied history in motorsport, participating in Grand Prix racing, Formula One, touring car racing, and rallies. The brand is renowned for its sporty character and distinctive Italian design.
Throughout its history, Alfa Romeo has produced a wide range of vehicles, including sports cars, sedans, coupes, and SUVs. Ownership has changed hands several times, including stints under state control and as part of the Fiat Group (now Stellantis). Despite these changes, Alfa Romeo has maintained its commitment to producing vehicles with a focus on performance and distinctive styling.
Alfa Romeo's badge incorporates the emblem of the Visconti family (a viper devouring a Saracen) and the red cross of Milan. The brand's name is a combination of 'Alfa' (from the original company name) and 'Romeo,' taken from Nicola Romeo, an entrepreneur who took control of the company in 1915. Alfa Romeo continues to produce cars that embody Italian passion and driving pleasure.
