Museo Storico Alfa Romeo : The Catalogue

An event as significant for Alfa Romeo enthusiasts as the reopening of the marque's historic museum at Arese - held on 24 June 2015, the day on which Alfa celebrated its 105th anniversary - could hardly not be celebrated with a book.
The official catalogue of the new museum represents an opportunity to review the history of the marque and above all to accompany the reader/visitor around the new exhibition layout in which the cars have been thematically grouped and subdivided.

The glorious racing cars (from the P2 to the 33 in all their variants, through to the less successful cars that competed in F1) are brought together under the section VELOCITA' introduced by Alfa Romeo driver Nino Vaccarella, while cars such as the 1759, 8C 2900, 6C 2500, 1900, Giulietta and Alfetta, along with the most recent production models, illustrate the most important episodes in the Biscione's industrial history in the TIMELINE section - introduced by American journalist Nick Czap.

The section BELLEZZA - introduced by designer Lorenzo Ramaciotti, head of Style for the Fiat Group for years - focuses on the undisputed protagonists being cars such as the 33 Stradale, the Carabo and the Nuvola, milestones in the evolution of automotive styling.

A specific chapter also features all those models that do not appear in the exhibition.The catalogue is therefore an indispensable instrument for all those visiting this authentic temple of history, technology and culture.

Dit boek biedt een ongebruikelijk perspectief op Alfa Romeo. Auteur Stefano Salvetti doorzocht zorgvuldig het archief van de fabrikant, onderzocht weinig bekende onderwerpen en creëerde een fascinerend werk over speciale Alfa-modellen buiten de serieproductie.

Het toont speciale bestellingen, kleine series, opvallende coupés en cabriolets, unieke exemplaren zoals Michelotti's "Goccia" of Pininfarina's Giulia TZ2 "Sport Speciale", ontwerpstudies, prototypes, stationwagens, Spiders, wielerbegeleidingsvoertuigen, staatslimousines en zeldzame bedrijfswagens.

Alfa Romeo - Das Werk: Die Ära Arese

Giulia, GT, Alfetta, Giulietta, Alfa 75 - the bestsellers of the traditional Milanese brand Alfa Romeo all come from the legendary Stabilimento di Arese factory. At the time of its construction in the early 1960s, "La Fabbrica" was the most modern automobile production facility, and practically everything that was needed to build the sporty dream cars was manufactured on site.

In his latest work, Alfa expert Umberto Di Paolo presents the history, the factory parts from the forge to the paint shop, the organization, the cars and the protagonists - all uniquely richly illustrated with countless photos from a treasure trove of images that had yet to be dug out of the archives.
This book closes one of the last gaps in the large Alfa Romeo library - a celebration for every Alfista and a monument to the legendary factory as well as to the Alfa creators in the design office and on the assembly line.

Alfa Romeo Arese - Die Produktion der Tipo-105-Modelle

In 1963, the first part of the new Alfa Romeo plant in Arese was put into operation. From then on, the bodies of the Tipo 105 sedan and coupé were produced there. The final assembly of the vehicles was also carried out in Arese.
The production of the engines and other mechanical components was still at the old Portello plant at that time, and was only transferred to Arese in the following years after additional production areas had been completed. Fortunately, many of the production processes of the Tipo 105 models have been photographed over the years.

A book for every enthusiast who would like to see how the vehicle components and vehicles of the Tipo 105 were created, which are still largely responsible for the good reputation of the Alfa Romeo brand today.
All of the photos in this book, most of which have never been published before and were taken in Portello and Arese, date from 1963 to 1972 and show exclusively the production of the Tipo 105 models.

Alfa Romeo - Una storia di audacia e passione

NIEUW

Weinig merken tonen zoveel oog voor detail als Alfa Romeo. Vanaf het begin werd niets aan het toeval overgelaten. In 1918 nam Nicola Romeo de "Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili- in Milaan over en gaf haar de naam Alfa Romeo, waarmee de basis voor een legende werd gelegd.

De geschiedenis omvat zowel successen als tegenslagen. Overwinningen van coureurs als Tazio Nuvolari en Juan Manuel Fangio maakten Alfa beroemd, terwijl moeilijke periodes de veerkracht op de proef stelden. Sinds de oprichting van A.L.F.A. in 1910 bleef één element onveranderd: de schoonheid van het ontwerp, krachtig en verfijnd, die generaties liefhebbers heeft geïnspireerd.

Alfa Romeo is een Italiaans verhaal om trots op te zijn. Francesco Domenighini vertelt het met passie en deskundigheid en neemt de lezer mee door meer dan een eeuw innovatie, competitie en stijl.
