New alfa-romeo range of cars, suvs, wagons, sedans, trucks prepared to consume LPG / Propane
The origins of Alfa Romeo can be traced back to the Società Italiana Automobili Darracq, founded in 1906 and located at 95, Strada del Portello, Milan, Italy. When economic difficulties hit in 1909, the company's shares were acquired by the organization's managing director, the Italian aristocrat Ugo Stella. On June 24, 1910, Stella relaunched and renamed her plant Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili - A.L.F.A. or "Alpha".
Alfa's young technical director, Giuseppe Merosi, was an ambitious young man who started selling bicycles. Soon after, Merosi was designing cars and motorcycles for Fiat and Bianchi. At Alfa, Merosi designed the first vehicle to leave the new production line at Portello in Milan, Italy. The 24HP featured a single block engine of 4.1 liters, a single transmission shaft and reached a top speed of 62 mph.
Alfa Romeo resumed production at the end of the First World War. They started by assembling pieces that were still in stock, and soon after they started designing new models. The Grand Prix, which had been sold during the war, was reacquired. He proceeded to attract attention in a series of important Italian races in the early 1920s, such as the Mugello circuit, the Parma-Berceto circuit and Brescia. A bright new era had begun.
When Finmeccanica sold Alfa Romeo to the Fiat group, its Design Center was moved to an industrial complex in Arese, near Milan, Italy. Managed by Walter de Silva, the center was destined to handle important projects like the 145, the Proteo and Nuvola prototypes, the 156, the 147 and the MiTo.
