PASSION
More Alpha than ever
December 2, 2019
It is the car with which we usually close the guided tour, but this time it was the absolute protagonist of the event "Alfa GTV & Spider, more Alfa than ever", absolute preview of the forthcoming book written by Massimo and Giuseppe Colombo, together with Gianluca Cavalca.

When passion calls, the Alphists respond en masse. Even on Sunday, December 1, the expectations were not disappointed, sending out sold out the event organized at the Fratelli Cozzi Museum. On the other hand, the occasion was not to be missed: the brothers Giuseppe and Massimo Colombo, with Gianluca Cavalca, gave a preview not to be missed for fans of the sector: the preview of their book "Alfa GTV & Spider, more Alfa than ever". A reconstruction of the historical automotive panorama that determined the decision to bring to the market a car that deserves to be counted, in its own right, among the successes of the biscione and an in-depth engineering study. The style is the unequivocal one to which the Colombo brothers had already become accustomed when they published their previous work dedicated to Autodelta . The contribution of Gianluca Cavalca (president of the Alfa Sport Club) has further enriched the work.
