Men behind the symbols
We haven’t forgotten about him, we haven’t arrived late, no we’re not talking about the green Quadrifoglio and its centenary, but about whoever invented it and put it on his Grand Prix Alfa Romeo for the first time: Ugo Sivocci.

Our gallery of characters ends with the owner of the Effeffe who, with his Berlinetta, brings the Gentleman Drivers back on track as they did in the 1950s.

Enjoy the reading!
