Nicola Romeo L’Uomo Dietro La Mitica Alfa

Product description

Nicola Romeo is a man from southern Italy moved by entrepreneurial ideas that are linked to war production, railway, mining, aeronautical and finally automotive sectors. Behind the birth of his Alfa there are singular men and stories, politics and bank interests and perhaps that somewhat romantic idea of those who believed in the potential of that company from the very beginning.

Among very personal successes and alternating industrial vicissitudes, the figure of the Neapolitan engineer stands out and stands at the head of a group with different activities in which the companies of Portello and Pomigliano d’Arco are incorporated. The dream lasted for a decade, just long enough to convert the company back to war production for the outbreak of the First World War and to see it in a new renaissance full of successes, both sporting and commercial.
