On June 24, 1910, a group of businessmen, headed by Italian aristocrat Ugo Stella, took over the Italian plant of the French car company Societa Italiana Automobili Darracq located in Portello, Italy, just outside Milan. Stella renamed the company Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili, or ALFA. From this day forward, a new class of cars was being produced. Over the years, Alfa Romeo has produced airplane engines, race cars, and family vehicles. This book explores the rich history of these iconic automobiles and how they have impacted the automobile industry.

Streamlining is a metaphor for progress, surprising in its formal diversity and breadth of content and meaning. It is not necessarily trying to achieve maximum spedd, but aims to produce the highest possible degree of effectiveness; to this extent it has remained entirely up-to-date. But as an impetus it is a historical phenomenon that peaked twice, first in the thirties and then in the fifties.
