Alfa Romeo Celebrates Its 112th Anniversary With Its Fans From All Round The World!
Also Celebrating The Giulia's 60th Birthday...
For the Alfisti fandom, June 24th is a special date. It marks the 1910 foundation of Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili in Milan, a company that would soon become Alfa Romeo and would go on to win the hearts of many generations of motorists. There will be no shortage of celebrations for the occasion, in every part of the world.
From Friday 24th to Sunday 26th, the Alfa Romeo Museum will be holding a weekend of events specially designed for the brand’s tribe. Everything is ready to welcome Alfisti enthusiasts, who come together in Arese every year from all around the world, to share their pride and passion for the brand.
Proud to drive their Alfa Romeo on the Museum’s internal track and in the parades that mark the beginning and end of each day of celebrations. A passion to be shared with the clubs themselves, the brand’s true ambassadors.
To mark its 112th anniversary, Alfa Romeo is paying tribute to its Clubs by dedicating part of the Museum to them. On two walls, the permanent display will depict the lives and passion of the Alfisti fandom, in a series of videos made directly by the Clubs. Images coming in from every continent – from China to Latin America, New Zealand to South Africa, speaking of the constant commitment to enhancing both the brand and Made in Italy products, all around the world.
Outside, in the green area in front of the Museum entrance, Trees4Clubs is due to be inaugurated: every tree will bear a plaque produced by a Club, to cement their strong bond – and their deep roots – within the brand. The plaques will be unveiled on Saturday, June 25th at 11:00 a.m., followed at 3:00 p.m. in the Giulia Hall by the Club Meeting, the annual get-together for Alfa Romeo Clubs, dozens of which have already signed up from all around the world.
Sunday, June 26th will focus on another major anniversary, Giulia’s 60th. As part of the family, on the track and in uniform, the Giulia is an Alfa Romeo symbol and the icon of an era. Dozens of sedans from the 1960s and ’70s will step out on the Museum’s internal track, to take part in a flashmob.
Afterward, the Giulia Hall will host a conference forming part of the “Backstage” cycle, including a parade of the different versions and variants of this legendary car. The participants will include a Giulia belonging to the State Police force from the Autocentro in Turin, in a perfect juxtaposition with the model on show in the Museum’s “Alfa in Uniform” section.
Finally, two specimens of 1950s Alfa Romeo vans will be on show all weekend: a “455” and a “Mille” from the Marazzato Collection of classic vehicles in Stroppiana (Vercelli province). Consisting of over 200 automobiles, most of the collection is made up of vintage trucks and buses.
