A complete history of 110 years of Alfa Romeo: the cars, the people, the racing, and the heritage.

For more than 110 years, Alfa Romeo has set the standard for elegant, sophisticated, and racy Italian automobiles. The first Alfa Romeo, the Tipo 24HP, rolled off the line in 1910 and paved the way for such classic and well-known models as the Tipo 33 Stradale, Guilia, Giulietta, Alfasud, Alfetta, and Stelvio—Alfa Romeo’s first SUV. This comprehensive volume covers those models, and much more.

Automotive writer and Alfa Romeo afficionado Christian Schön celebrates the 110th anniversary of Alfa Romeo by taking a deep dive into the people, places, races, and especially the cars, that are part of Alfa Romeo’s rich history and heritage. Highlights of this book include:
