Looks a lovely spot and a gorgeous car. The Italians love seeing a British Registered Alfa Romeo in their own country. We took my Alfa Alfa 159 down to Italy in 2013 and we got much adulation from the locals.
Thanks, we’ve had plenty of waves and headlight flashes while we’re here. Still not seen many Guilas or Stelvios even in Italy though.See what today brings, we’re off to the Alfa museum.

The Audi A4 a few years ago seemed to be the prestige car of choice in Northern / Mid Italy.

I’m sure you’ll have a great time at the Museum. Whilst we have never been (yet) further south then Rome, over the last 15 years or so we’ve seen less Alfa Romeo’s over there and the place appeared to have not that many dealers.

Agreed, we’ve only seen two dealers excluding the one at the museum. Loads of VW, Audi and Merc dealers though, and German cars do seem to be the prestige choice for Giulia size cars as at home.The Audi A4 a few years ago seemed to be the prestige car of choice in Northern / Mid Italy.
The museum is superb, best car museum I’ve been to with loads of road and racing cars on display, including Larini’s 1993 155 V6 Ti DTM car which I saw win at Donington. It made me feel really old when I realised that was 29 years ago!
Anyway, here’s another gratuitous pic of mine.

Never thought the Montreal "pretty" always thought of it as the '70s Italian muscle car, just like the Vantage was the British one.And pretty? Last week it drew the crowd's eye indeed. Maybe because it's a rare sight.

One of the few cars that I'd sell my Alfas for...sadly, I'd still be a very large pile of money short.

I think you’ll probably need one of these..
