Photos - Five things you may not know about Alfa Romeo

Alfa Romeo is not just synonymous with iconic models and a sporting tradition: its history is full of little-known facts. The famous Biscione, for example, had a much simpler design in 1910 and evolved over time while maintaining its connection to Milan and the Visconti family. Few people know that the company also produced aircraft engines between the two world wars, developing expertise that was later transferred to its cars. The legendary Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale of 1967, built almost by hand, is now one of the most sought-after Italian cars among collectors. As early as the 1920s and 1930s, the brand was present in international markets thanks to models like the 6C and the 8C. Finally, Alfa Romeo was a pioneer in aerodynamics, contributing to the development of innovative, high-performance cars.
