History of Alfa Romeo:

Alfa Romeo is founded in 1907 as "Darracq Italiana" by an Italian automobile manufacturer Cavaliere Ugo Stella, an aristocrat from Milan, in partnership with the French automobile firm of Alexandre Darracq. Alfa romeo is a part of Fiat SpA since 1986. The firm initially produced Darracq cars in Naples, but after the partnership collapsed Stella and the other Italian co-investors moved production to an idle Darracq factory in the Milan suburb of Portello, and the company was renamed ALFA (Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili).

Giuseppe Merosi designed the first non-Darracq car which was 1910 24 HP (named for the 24 horsepower it produced). Merosi then designed a series of new Alfa cars with moe powerful engines (40-60 HP). Alfa also entered in to motor racing. In year 1911 Targa Florio , drivers Franchini and Ronzoni participated with two 24 HP models.
