A manufacturer of automobiles in Milan Italy with a
long illustrious racing history. Alfa Romeos (as they
would later become known) were first produced in
1910 by a new Italian automobile maker, Societa
Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili, or
A.L.F.A. In 1915, the company was acquired by
the Italian engineer and industrialist, Nicola Romeo
-- and in 1920, the Alfa badge was changed to
read, "Alfa Romeo."
