Name origin	The name joins the Italian word for car with Bianchi, the Milan firm founded by Edoardo Bianchi in 1885. The first Autobianchi model, the Bianchina, was named as a tribute to Edoardo Bianchi's first car of 1899.	The name combines the acronym A.L.F.A., for Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili, with the surname of the Neapolitan engineer and entrepreneur Nicola Romeo, who took control of the company in 1915. The first car to carry the combined Alfa Romeo name was the Torpedo 20-30 HP in 1920.
