THE Giulia was unveiled at the newly-renovated Alfa Romeo museum, called 'La macchina del tempo - Museo storico Alfa Romeo'.

It holds some of the most significant pieces in Alfa Romeo's collection, with 69 vehicles and numerous images, videos, displays and interactive and immersive experiences spread across three floors showcasing its 105 year history.

Alfa Romeo is one of the most storied marques in automotive history, and the collection on show reflects this: from the very first A.L.F.A. car, the 24 HP, to the legendary Mille Miglia winners such as the 6C 1750 Gran Sport driven by Tazio Nuvolari, the 8C coachbuilt by Touring and the Gran Premio 159 'Alfetta 159' world Formula 1 winner driven by Juan Manuel Fangio, as well as the 1950s' Giulietta and the Championship 33 TT 12.

If you find yourself in Arese and have any petrol in your veins, it is well worth a look. More information at www.museoalfaromeo.com.
