#Home stay... we'll keep you company and take you to the movies, in Alfa, of course.

How many films and TV series have you seen these days? Yes, the cinema has been great company and so we thought we'd add an Alfa touch to your days. In the last few months we contacted Ivan Scelsa, president of CinemAlfa, because we wanted to surprise you during the event organized for on March 8th, with a cinematic catwalk linking Donne and Alfa Romeo. Things, unfortunately, have not gone as planned, but we are not getting demoralised and we are here to present you with an initiative designed for you.

In the next few days we will all be in a virtual "drive-in" to review, and in some cases discover, the most iconic films featuring the legendary Alfa Romeo cars as protagonists. We could only call on the most expert in the field such as CinemAlfa and Ivan Scelsa. We are waiting for you on our Facebook page ... and don't forget the popcorn!

CINEMALFA

On the cinema stage of the beautiful country, the brand that most of all represents the changes in costume of our society, the passion and the made in Italy is definitely Alfa Romeo. It's enough to remember films that have made history and are well made, such as "Il laurea" with Dustin Hoffman, "Rocco e i suoi fratelli" by Luchino Visconti, "Roma a mano armata" by Umberto Lenzi, up to the very recent "Vallanzasca Gli Angeli del Male" by Michele Placido to place the Milanese company in the Olympus of the most fascinating and famous brands in the world.

CinemAlfa was born precisely from this: it is the ambitious idea of bringing together motoring and film enthusiasts in a unique association. It is also a Study Centre for those who want to study, to deepen their own film-automobile culture with texts divided into two distinct areas of interest, the automotive and the film, all of which can be consulted at the club's headquarters in Bergamo.

The partners, with their cars, have collaborated in the creation and launch of many film projects including short films, commercials, music videos and films of international stature including "Era Santo, era uomo" directed by Lino Zani, the fictions "1993" and "1994" for Sky, "Maltese. The Commissioner's novel", "Noi e la Giulia!", "All the money in the world" by Ridley Scott, just to name a few.

The operative venues, then, host some cars and a rich and interesting photo gallery that accompanies the visitor on a small journey through a hundred years of memories and the history of cinema.

The Association is present on the web with its own website (www.cinemalfa.it), with a You Tube channel and a very active Facebook profile where members and friends discuss news from the automotive and film industry.

Thanks to IVAN SCELSA, president of the CinemAlfa Association.
