(First logo: [1] (http://www.asaf.co.il/alfa/images/19101915.gif)) When Nicola Romeo bought ALFA in 1915, his surname was appended to the company name. The company's first automobile was the 24 HP [2] (http://members.tripod.lycos.nl/AlfaTom2/galleria1/24hp.htm),which appeared in 1910, and the following year entered the Targa Florio, the special competition in Sicily. In the 1930s, Tazio Nuvolari won the Mille Miglia in a 6C 1750 [3] (http://members.tripod.lycos.nl/AlfaTom2/galleria1/24hp.htm),crossing the finishing line after having incredibly overtaken Achille Varzi without his lights (at nighttime). The 8C 2300 won the Le Mans 24 Hours from 1931 to 1934. In 1935 Alfa Romeo won the German Grand Prix with Nuvolari. In 1950 Nino Farina won the Formula One World Championship in a 158 with compressor, in 1951 Juan Manuel Fangio won while driving a Alfetta 159 (first attempt of two-stages compressor).
