Federated Clubs
The nature of my bond with the Biscione is not only
professional: I met some of my dearest friends under its
green Quadrifoglio.
To this very day, whenever I relive the memories of the time
I got to spent with Antonio Ascari, Giuseppe Campari, Ugo
Sivocci and Tazio Nuvolari I'm overwhelmed by a heartfelt
nostalgia.
Mixed feelings of joy and sadness fill my soul when I think
of what I call my "Milanese period"...
Alfa was for me, and for many others, a great school of
life. It taught me my first and most important lessons. But
at Alfa I also experienced the thrill of giving.
The kind of giving that knows no limits nor exceptions: the
Cavallino gave many victories to the Biscione, its history
forever intertwined with that of its prestigious ancestor.

Enzo Ferrari devoted his entire life to cars, turning a mere
tool into the object of a fervid passion that later became a
legend: the legend of Alfa Romeo...
Alfa Romeo and Registro Italiano Alfa Romeo: Historical Highlights
Alfa Romeo, born in 1910 from the bankruptcy of Darraq and
the passion of a few audacious entrepreneurs, endured and
overcame two devastating wars thanks to the very spirit that
had inspired it. Despite the continuous struggle to keep its
balance between sports achievements and management problems,
it succeeded in building such an aura of myth around its
cars that even Henry Ford used to take off his hat when he
saw an Alfa.... Alfa, the first letter of the alphabet. A for
Automobile, because Alfa is Auto history.
In 1962 only few (very few) people were interested in
classic cars. There were only two Clubs in Italy, both
founded by extraordinary men, Federazione Italiana
Automotoveicoli d'Epoca (FIAME) in Milan and Veteran Car
Club Italiano in Turin, which later merged into ASI (1966).
This is the year Registro Italiano Alfa Romeo was
established in Rome by baron Giorgio Franchetti and by
Francesco Santovetti, who also served as the club's first
president. The club was originally based in Rome but,
acknowledging its huge marketing potential, in 1968 Giuseppe
Luraghi, the then Alfa Romeo President, requested and
obtained that it be relocated to Milan inside Alfa's
Portello headquarters (Via Gattamelata 5). R.I.A.R. has
accompanied Alfa Romeo ever since, moving with it to the new
Arese Headquarters in the 70s, sharing its eventful history,
and becoming the most respected and reliable point of
reference for the numerous Alfa Clubs all over the world.
