Alfa Romeo, a century of automotive passion
Founded in 1910 in Milan under the name ALFA (Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili), the brand with the **Biscione snake** quickly established itself as a symbol of Italian excellence. Acquired by Nicola Romeo in 1915, it definitively took the name Alfa Romeo and forged a legendary reputation both on the road and on the racetrack.
In the 1950s, when the Giulietta was created, Alfa Romeo was undergoing a period of renaissance. Under the leadership of engineer Giuseppe Busso and designer Nuccio Bertone, the brand developed a new generation of vehicles that revolutionized the approach to the **European sports sedan**. The Giulietta perfectly embodies this philosophy, blending performance, elegance, and affordability.
