New Alfa Romeo photos and Alfa Romeo wallpapers
So, it all started in 1910 and Alfa Romeo had been an independent car manufacturer up till 1986, when it was taken over by Fiat. The Alfa from the name of the company are characters that stand for Anonima Lombarda Farbbrica Automobili, but the company has been anything than anonymous. The second part of the name derives from the director of the company back in 1915, Nicola Romeo. The badge of the company, is a prestigious one, as you will be able to notice in most of the Alfa Romeo wallpapers from our web site. The badge was created by Romano Cattaneo, who projected it inspired by the biscione, which was a human child bearing serpent. The badge was modified in 1915 after Nicola Romeo became the head of the company, and the emblem for the city of Milan was also included in the design.
If you take a look at some Alfa Romeo pictures and Alfa Romeo wallpapers, you will be able to see numerous different models, each unique in its own way. You will see an evolution in the Alfa Romeo photos: starting from the very first 24 hp car, manufactured in 1910 and on to the luxurious 1950s Giulietta berline and next to the more powerful and more fashionable new designs that were released in the last few years.
Alfa Romeo has also gained fame due to the Panther cars, which were used by the Italian police: the most famous models were the Giulia Super, a small cute car and the 2600 Sprint GT.
You can also see some Alfa Romeo pictures featuring some motor racing models and grand prix automobiles, which added to the success of this Italian brand. The 1920s design of the RL Targa Florio is a racing classic, and those who are into car racing are aware of the capacities and the beauty of this model.

The more recent models, as you can also observe in the Alfa Romeo photos, are numerous. Let's take for example the Alfa Romeo 147, which is a family car, small and very effective. A re-make of this model is due in 2009, and it will be called the 149. on the other hand, there is the Alfa Romeo sportwagon- the 159, a sporty car with gasoline engine.
