Name originThe company carries the surname of its founder, Giovanni Bertone, who set up a carriage building and repair shop in Turin in 1912. His son Giuseppe, known as Nuccio, later led the firm, so the name stayed in the family for generations.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.
