ALFA ROMEO CENTENARY SPECIAL ISSUE
Authors: Roberto Boccafogli, Cesare De Agostini, Luca Goldoni, Luciano Greggio, Alessandro Piccone, Lorenzo Ramaciotti
Limited edition of 999 copies
A century of history constitutes an important goal and is even more significant if a prestigious marque like Alfa Romeo is celebrating it. To pay due tribute to such a significant event and not only in automobile history is a unique and exclusive book of which only 999 copies have been printed, all numbered and enclosed in an elegant slipcase that carries the famous metal emblem of the centenarian on its front.
Apart from its huge format, the refined binding and the paper on which it is printed, this official book prepared in collaboration with Alfa Romeo and destined to celebrate this historic event, is an ambitious project especially due to its contents and illustrations, all unpublished and which come from the priceless Arese archives.
To retell this long and distinguished history, which has certainly written a chapter of extraordinary importance in the technical and sporting annals of the Italian car but, more in general, has left its indelible mark on the culture and in the evolution of Italian trends, some of the most important names in motoring and motor sport journalism have contributed, as have men who lived the Alfa Romeo experience in person.
People who have been entrusted with the task of recounting a century of history, both through technical evolution of the principal road cars, the many significant concept cars of no less importance built over the years by the major body stylists, but also through the long and glorious sporting era that has seen the unforgettable cars of Alfa Romeo win in all four corners of the world and in the most diverse championships.
This official Alfa Romeo centenary book is a work of indisputable prestige, a 'must have' for all enthusiasts and students of the Alfa Romeo marque.
