HISTORY OF THE ALFA ROMEO FACTORY AND PLANTING: PART 2 ALFA ROMEO IN A KHAKI UNIFORM

The first part of this attempt to reconsider the industrial history of Alfa Romeo finished on a dramatic stage: Alfa Romeo was on the verge of closure, and only a wonderful movement to lead, that Director Orazi, entrusted to the liquidation of the company, and his successor with a high profile manager, Ugo Gobbato, associate now restructure the removal of the managing Alfa Romeo and updating their ability, successfully the needs of the Mussolini regime for advanced mechanical industry war material for the then upcoming wars make available.

This chapter focuses on the years 1933 to 1945, a shorter period than chapter of falling (1906-1933), and Ugo Gobbato are without doubt the key characters over the entire period, the end of the war at the same time - in fact no coincidence - his death. Some more famous or controversial figures also appear such as Jano and Ricart. Mussolini are also never far away.

This is also the most paradoxical of the Alfa Romeo history: at the same time, it was the brightest time for the ultimate Alfa of the car: 8 c 2900 sports cars is regarded as world's best in war, certainly a highlight in the production of Alfa Romeo, nor at any other time which has society life was so marginal on the overall activities of the factory production. About 35 2.9s produced over 5 years, and a total 5% of all activity was automobile production maximum in the late 1930s. Cars were already not centrally located in the heart of the first chapter, but they are still less so in the second.
