Legends are often born in obscurity. Alfa Romeo’s humble beginnings gave no hint as to the extraordinary heights the company would achieve.
A.L.F.A. ( Anonima Lombrada Fabbrica Automobili) was founded in June of 1910 from the company Società Anonima Italiana Darracq (SAID). By 1915, the A.L.F.A. came under the stewardship of Nicola Romeo. At that time the factory’s efforts were turned over from building cars to military equipment. The new name of the company subsequently became Alfa Romeo in 1920, the first car to wear the badge was the Torpedo 20-30 HP.
