Familiar faces and names, that often cross paths and reappear. Statesmen or men of the underworld. Everyday heroes or elusive characters, always hovering between legality and affairs, criminality and politics move along the Peninsula, in autos, almost always in Alfa Romeos: powerful, fast, often armoured cars.
A journey into the 20th century, into the history of Italy in which Alfa has always been a protagonist, from the Portello bombings to the flight of lovers Benito Mussolini and Claretta Petacci to the death of an enlightened executive like Ugo Gobbato.
And again: the Pasolini crime and the trade union struggles in the Arese factory, the violence of the Brigate Rosse, up to the most noir episodes of the 1970s, captured in a ‘poliziottesco’ film genre that becomes its essence, its translation.
Political-criminal plots linking honourable figures to Cosa Nostra, world-famous millionaire robberies, police stories, breathtaking chases and aberrant murders.
All this is NERO ALFA. Storie di cronaca e delitti al volante di un'Alfa Romeo: twenty-seven stories told with wealth of detail - often previously unpublished - with number plates, chassis numbers and characteristics that will introduce you to a troubled and stupendous century, in which the cars of the House of Biscione were unquestionable protagonists.
