" "Alfa" is an acronym of its founding name, "Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili." "Anonima" means "anonymous", which was a legal form of company at the time, as it was founded by anonymous investors."
"The first factory building of A.L.F.A. was in the first place property of Società Anonima Italiana Darracq (SAID), founded in 1906 by the French automobile firm of Alexandre Darracq, with some Italian investors.
One of them, Cavaliere Ugo Stella, an aristocrat from Milan, became chairman of the SAID in 1909.[6] The firm's initial location was in Naples, but even before the construction of the planned factory had started, Darracq decided late in 1906 that Milan would be more suitable and accordingly a tract of land was acquired in the Milan suburb of Portello, where a new factory of 6,700 square metres (8,000 sq yd) was constructed.
In late 1909, the Italian Darracq cars were selling slowly and the company was wound up.[7] Ugo Stella, with the other Italian co-investors, founded a new company named A.L.F.A. (Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili), buying the assets of Italian Darracq that was up to dissolution."
"Since its origins in 1910, the Alfa Romeo logo has remained a split design with two halves. Each half represents a traditional symbol of Milan: the cross of the municipality on the left, and the Visconti serpent on the right. And while the Visconti serpent was chosen to represent the Visconti family, much of the Alfa Romeo logo is still shrouded in secrecy.
Here are a few of the most popular theories about the Alfa Romeo symbols:
The Cross — Commonly known as the Cross of St Ambrose or St. George’s Cross, this cross is historically associated with medieval Milanese soldiers during the Crusades.
The Serpent — The snake-eating-man symbol is known as the Biscione, associated with the Visconti family of 11th century Milan. The serpent wears a crown to commemorate the Visconti dukedom of the 15th century.
The Man — The victim of the serpent is likely a Saracen or Moor, a reference to the Christian Crusades.
The Knots — While they were eventually removed from the Alfa Romeo symbol, the original Alfa Romeo logo featured two decorative Savoy knots dividing “Alfa” and “Romeo” on the logo’s border.
The Crown — The laurel crown appeared in 1925 when the Alfa Romeo P2 won the inaugural Automobile World Championship, but it was removed in 1982."
