Alfa Romeo's Cross Waves

For nearly a century, Alfa Romeo engines have worked wonders not only on road and track, but also on the water, adding to the racing success of some of the most legendary models of the Milanese house

Some countries excite greater passion than others – Italy is a prime example. Little wonder red became its national car-racing colour back in the early 1920s. Decades before Ferrari was spawned from its racing division, Alfa Romeo embodied mechanical excellence, not only on the ground, but in the air and on the water

After a retrospective exhibition of its major aeronautical, civil and military achievements at the Museo Storico (historical museum) Alfa Romeo in Arese, Milan, the museum is undertaking a similar initiative to celebrate decades of victories in motorboat racing under the Quadrifoglio flag.
