A century of history constitutes an important goal and is even more significant if a prestigious marque like Alfa Romeo is celebrating it. To pay due tribute to such a significant event is a unique and exclusive work of the Centenary, printed in a limited edition of only 999 copies, all numbered and enclosed in an elegant slipcase that carries the famous metal emblem of the centenarian on its front. Apart from its huge format, the refined binding and the paper on which it is printed, this official book prepared in collaboration with Alfa Romeo and destined to celebrate this historic event, is an ambitious project especially due to its contents and illustrations. As well as for the invaluable photographic Material provided by Alfa Romeo's Historic Motor Racing Documentation Centre Arese and a Number of images contributed by the Giorgio Nada Editore Archive, the Official Centenary book contains the results of a series of sessions carried out in the Alfa Museum specifically for this volume. A number of models in clothing inspired bythe styles of this century have posed next to the most significant cars in Alfa's history, creating in that way a fascinating "filrouge" between the car and its period. The P2, which won the 1925 Grand Prix World Championship, and the current 8C Spider are the stars of two additional photographic sessions that took place adhoc on Alfa's historic track at Balocco. To tell this long and distinguished history, which has written a chapter of extraordinary importance in the technical and sporting annals of the Italian car, some of the most important names in motoring and motorsport journalism have contributed, as have men who lived the Alfa Romeo experience in person. This official Alfa Romeo Centenary book is a work of indisputable prestige, a 'must have' for all enthusiasts and students of the Alfa Romeo marque
