- A.L.F.A.
The company started as A.L.F.A., short for Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili, set up by Ugo Stella to take over the Italian branch of Darracq. Nicola Romeo bought it in 1915, and in 1920 the name became Alfa Romeo.
Through the 1920s it built road and race cars side by side. After the Second World War it moved to small mass-produced cars, yet kept the mix of sport and luxury that made its name.
