Join us on a backstage tour around the droolworthy Museo Storico Alfa Romeo. Our mctreckmeister is your guide 🇮🇹
A true temple of design excellence
More than anything, the museum’s also a display of how Italy sees the car and the Alfa brand. Both the building and its contents are listed, ensuring that all 286 cars inside the museum are kept in fantastic shape. Lorenzo Ardizio, the museum’s curator and our guide, describes the arrangement as the Italian government ‘starting to consider its industrial heritage as much as its artistic heritage’.
Before you get to the cars, you step through a display of aero engines and racing boats – a reminder that there’s more to the brand than just cars. Pride of place is a fully reconstructed Alfa-powered plane – the museum’s ‘lockdown project’. Moving on, you find a 1900 – the company’s first post-war car and a tremendously important money-maker for the brand. And the models just get more iconic as you press forward. Giulia, Alfasud, Montreal, 156, 8C… it’s like a masterclass in design brilliance, and it’s glorious.
The view turns red as you head into the lower decks, packed with everything from F1 racers to Mille Miglia to Touring car entrants. It’s here you’ll also find the museum’s most valuable car, another 8C – this time a 2900B Speciale Tipo Le Mans. Here’s a rack of styling models. Here’s a prototype Alfa wankel engine. Here’s a spark plug tester. Here’s a stray concept car. This writer could have spent a week there and not felt bored.
