    The snake is called Biscione (Casa del Biscione is one of Alfa's nicknames) and it comes from an aristocratic family that has ruled the Milan in various periods since about a thousands years ago. The reason why that scene was used on their herald hasn't been found but among all the myths, the best one is that in which a Visconti family member won a duel with a Saracen warrior that wore a shield with a snake on during the second crusade. So he inherited the snake and put himself coming out of it
    The myth Alfa refers to is that of an aristocrat whose son was eaten by a snake. He went searching for the snake and kills it in a duel, and while passing away the snake spits his son

    I recently purchased my first Alfa Giulia ti q2 and I have to say I’m in love with her! The lines the drive everything I have zero complaints other than maybe getting the quadrofoglio. But even then I have no complaints the four cylinder feels like a rocket ship in its own. The history shows through, everytime I drive it’s like she’s begging me for more speed and begging to hit the corners harder she wants to go! Thank you Alfa you created a new future classic with the giulia.

      One of top reviews I have seen in last few years....you have great skill in creating these reviews. I have owned a lot of cars and have owned and raced a few ALFAs in my 75 years. When taken care of properly they are durable and always a delight to drive. My first ALFA was a 1969 spider I bought new and kept for over 40 years although with many go fast mods. I would still have that if I had a larger garage. Current ALFA is a 2015 4C Launch Editon I bought new and it has been a love affair ever since. It was my idea of a raw sports car that is arguably one of the most beautiful bodies every designed. It feels the closest to a real race car of the street cars I have driven. I have a few very minor mods on mine....different alignment, uniball bushings, better tires, normal tweaks. The car is very quick, but still comfortable and while not a practical car like my truck, it puts the best smile on my face every time I drive it. Oh....and it gets great gas mileage too ;-) Sadly cars like the 4C or this GTAm are last of their kind now that governments have decided that EVs are the way to go....not happy about that ;-(
      By the way a member of my ALFA club has a real original GTA with a 1600 cc engine and the aluminum body. That indeed is a very fast car....amazing that a 60 year old car can blow the doors off the latest hot cars (although he is a very fast driver).

    I really enjoy every video you guys produce. It proves quality in every second. This clip though is on another level, camera, edit, acting and story…top notch. Although it smells a bit of a modern marketing…who cares if behind it is such a glorious car manufacturer as Alfa Romeo. This production just proofs what a real passion for cars should manifest itself with, with all its history behind. Alfa Romeo (any modern model) is a car I wish I had, but I just won’t be able to buy. I am happy though for all those who can !! Enjoy the pure riding experience at a fraction of the price 😎 it won’t last long

    this is an absolute masterpiece of a video, the details and the presentation of Afla Romeo couldn’t have been better

    Alfa Romeo might have lost some of it's spirit in 90's and 2000's but they had Brerra and 159 (also 4c and 8C) those were really good looking cars
