From Milan’s Via Cappuccio to the world

“Storie Alfa Romeo” begins with the first car we ever produced, the 24 HP, designed by Giuseppe Merosi at his home on Milan’s Via Cappuccio, even before the company name A.L.F.A. (Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili – Lombard Automobile Factory, Inc.) was registered in Milan on June 24, 1910. Discover Alfa Romeo's roots and close ties with London, Bordeaux and Naples, which opened the brand up to the world from the outset. We will also relive the origins of the racing legend of Alfa Romeo: from its on-track debut in 1911 to its first victory in 1923 in the Targa Fiorio, when the famed Quadrifoglio was born.
